Hi all,

Had a search for this but couldn't find it in here anywhere.
I fooking hate my dell laptop :mad: because when I am typing for whatever reason it just decides to move the cursor to wherever the mouse was last active, like I'd clicked the mouse again.By the time I realise what's going on I've half a sentence typed in the middle of another one, it's driving me mental!!
Anyone any ideas?
I hope it's not some silly setting or an over-sensitive touchpad but I've been trying to keep away from the touch pad and it's still happening..

Control Panel/Mouse/Pointer Options . Is the "Snap To" enabled ? There may be other options in your mouse/touchpad settings that you need to look into . It does sound like you're hitting a key or key combination translating as a back button for your cursor .
