Cursor Jumps on T61p Ultrapad

Just upgraded from a T43 to a T61p. Nice computer. The only problem, which could be a feature that I need to get used to is that when I move my finger on the ultrapad from the top to the bottom (or vice versa), the cursor jumps about two inches when my finger reaches the center point. If this is a feature to assist with navigation, I have found it a challenge in that the ultrapad on the T61 is smaller than the one on my old T43. Is there a way to disable or adjust this?

I suggest reseating the touchpad connector under the palm rest, instrauctions on how to remove the palm rest can be found here.

Why does my cursor jump from photoshop window to the file window im working on

I started experiencing this following problem when I upgraded my macbook pro to Lion OS
When I open PhotoShop CS4, I open a new file and the window appears so I could start working,
but then I move the cursor to the white or "gray and white checker" window and before getting to it,
my cursor jumps or skips almost to the middle of the window. After that the tools no longer work. my brush,
erase, bucket and all tools stay as the arrow cursor!
I need help with this!!!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Did you check what I would consider the first place to look:

If the site is still down (at least 12 hours) when you read this try [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Google's cache]

WHy is the cursor jumping to wrong position (mainly back to position 1 in the text field) as I try to post comments to peoples posts on Facebook?

I love FIrefox browser and prefer to use it on all my devices, PC, Smart Tv, Phone, Tablet etc. In recent times Iv'e had problems though, everytime I try to comment on a facebook post with each key stroke the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the text field and by the time I finish typing I look up and find jibberish, yesterday I upgraded this RKM Mk902 Android device that I am typing on now unfortunately using Chrome from Anroid 4.2.2 to android 4.4.2 Kit-Kat and thought I would no longer have that problem but the issue is still there. I also have discovered I'm having similar problems with FireFox on my Cube U39GT tablet. As I spend more time on Facebook than any other website I have to find a solution. I thought it may of been one of the addons that i use causing the problems such as Phony but I still get the issue without the addons and after a clean install. Please help me sort out this problem so I can once more use FireFox on my Android devices.

I found this, it seems that there are a few issues in Android as well with the wrong placement for the cursor when you type: [https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/465] but since it is only happening in facebook, this is odd.
What this means is that they are working on fixing specific issues like this and I am not sure when this will be fixed.
Does this happen with both keyboards that are offered in the Android Settings?

Cursor jumps in snow leopard

Ever since I loaded OS 10.6.1 I have been having keyboard issues -- I'll type and then realize I am no longer typing at end of sentence -- I'll be typing at the start of the sentence -- the cursor "jumps"
it is quite annoying.
any idea on what to do would be appreciated.
generally this has been happening in safari.

As a test, try using the keyboard with the battery out, on AC power only.
Put the battery back in and, as a test, put a quarter under each of the front pads to lift the battery off the table.
This solved my problem- apparently the slightly bulging battery is placing pressure on the guts under the trackpad. I can put the battery back in and, if I elevate the unit slightly so that the battery doesn't touch the table, the problem goes away.
I notice scratches on my battery and that it not longer fits flush to the bottom of the unit, indicating a poor fit, bulged battery, and the fact that there is pressure from the table through the battery to the underside of the chassis where the trackpad is.
The problem is intermittent, I haven't figured out a permanent fix (maybe thicker rubber foot pads, but at least I know how to stop the cursor jumping around, highlighting and deleting text, and the other maddening things it has been doing.
Hope this helps!

Satellite P300: cursor jumps to different positions while typing

Hi All,
i have a Satellite P300,
I am having trouble when i type.
When i am typing using the keyboard, the first couple of words are ok, but then the words start typing in the wrong place, eg back further into the middle of the sentence i am typing.
Anybody please help? thanks

Hi dude
I had a similar issue.
While typing the cursor jumped to different positions and I was not able to finish one sentence.
I though there could be something wrong with the keyboard but finally I have notices that I have touched the touchpad surface accidentally while typing ?.
I have disabled the touchpad using the Fn+F9 and the issues has gone
So maybe its the same reason for you

My trackpad seems to be malfunctioning. Cursor jumps around. Screens shift.

My trackpad seems to be malfunctioning. The cursor jumps around and doesn't always respond. The screen shifts from one to another involuntarily. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Portables and Magic Trackpad: Jumpy or erratic trackpad operation
Does this occur with the power adapter connected, disconnected, or both?
Check your battery status. A battery that reaches its end of life may swell, creating pressure beneath the trackpad that will result in the symptoms you describe.

FF was running fine. My cursor jumped out of the text box while i was typing and now no text box on FF will let me type in it? Help!

Basically as above, i opened a new tab to search for an article and as i was typing the cursor jumped out of the box without my realising. I placed the cursor back in the box and started but no characters appeared. I tried the URL bar and again nothing. I opened Chrome and it worked fine so clearly something ive managed to do but i have no idea what!
I didn't use any shift, alt or ctrl buttons accidentally. I have tried shutting FF down and reopening but nothing.
Can anyone help please?
As an addition, why does the cursor jump out like that?
Thanks

Hello darrendons, try disabling graphics '''hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Select document window title bar, cursor jumps to other screen

This has been going on for a few days now. I've restarted the Mac, etc
Mac dual G4 1.25 GHz with OSX 10.4.11
This started suddenly. I have had a dual monitor system for months now, and have never had this problem before last week.
If I have documents on my second monitor (to the left of the main screen), when I click on a non-top document, the cursor suddenly jumps (always) to the right hand monitor.
The cursor jumps horizontally to the left edge of the righthand monitor, at the same height position as the document's title bar.
Also, if I have a document on the main (righthand) monitor, which is pushed over to the right edge of the monitor, when I click the gray title bar, the cursor jumps about 200 pixels to the left.
If the documents are within about 1600 pixels of the left edge of the righthand monitor, then selecting them does NOT make the cursor jump.
Pretty weird, huh?
Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
I've never seen this before in 15+ years of using Photoshop.

andib311 wrote:
I see that when you hover the cursor over the title bar of a PS document the full path is displayed briefly in a tool tip.
Not in the most recent versions of Photoshop it's not.
I think the reasoning for not maintaining the path is that a Photoshop document isn't really a single file. It's a document that may have been opened from a file, but there's no guarantee that when you save it's going to be written back to the file.
In fact, PS CS5 offers the ability to maintain separate default directories for File - Open and File - Save As operations.
So the short answer to your question is, I believe, no.

Cursor Jumping to last record when query mode for Multi-record block.

I have a multi-record block. the seq field has this validation to check that there should not be a gap
in sequence for S_type and cer_dl field.The program unit is as below.
PROCEDURE seq_validation IS
--Validation to check that there is no gaps in sequence for S_TYPE and cer_dl fields
l_value_to_check varchar2(100);
l_seq_found number;
l_curr_sequence number;
l_new_value varchar2(100);
l_found boolean:=FALSE;
l_new_set boolean := FALSE; --s_type and cer_dl are different from previous set.
begin
if trim(:b1.s_type) is not null
or trim(:b1.cer_dl) is not null
then
-- Program continues here only if all the items are not null
-- Get information from record that needs to be validated
l_value_to_check := trim(:b1.s_type) || ':'|| trim(:b1.cer_dl) ;
l_curr_sequence := :sequence;
if :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD = '1' then
---to check sequence is entered as 1 in the first record
message('Error:Sequence should start with 1');
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
go_item('b1.XYZ');
else
FIRST_RECORD;
while :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD != 'TRUE'
loop
l_found := FALSE;
l_new_value := trim(:b1.S_type) || ':'|| trim(:cer_dl) ;
if l_new_value = l_value_to_check then --
l_new_set:= FALSE;
l_seq_found := :seq;
if l_seq_found >= l_curr_sequence then
go_item('b1.seq');
l_new_set := FALSE;
elsif l_seq_found < l_curr_sequence - 1 then
go_item('b1.sequence');
l_found := FALSE;
elsif l_seq_found = l_curr_sequence - 1 then
l_found:= TRUE;
go_item('b1.xyz); --go to next item
end if;
else
l_new_set := TRUE;
end if;
NEXT_RECORD;
end loop;
if l_new_set then
go_item('b1.xyz'); -- go to next item
else
if not l_found then
message('Error:Sequence should be in order.');
go_item('b1.seq');
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
end if;
go_item('b1.xyz'); ---go to next item
end if;
end if;
end;
In the insert mode its working fine(unless you gurus feel to change to make it more perfect.
When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field and then do a execute query it brings all the records of 'IAS'.
Now as I want to update the records, and when I navigate across field(s_type,cer_dl,Seq,xyz) using tab and move the cursor down on second
record(IAS N 2 N), what happens is when I navigate to sequence field the cursor jumps to LAST RECORD( IAS Y 3 N ) of LAST field XYZ.
I am putting the sample record
s_type cer_dl seq xyz
IAS N 1 N
IAS N 2 N
IAS N 3 N
IAS N 4 N
IAS Y 1 N
IAS Y 2 N
IAS Y 3 N
The cursor moves to last record --IAS -Y -3-N when I tab across the second record.

When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field...For your validation to work you must not allow users to enter records in the middle of a block, clear records from the block or query specific records. If you allow the users to enter a query then you are allowing 2 of the rules to be broken.

The cursor "jumps out" of the find box before search line is completed?

I frequently use "find" command..... what happens VERY frequently is that the cursor "Jumps out" of the find command box prior to my finishing the search letters......... Firefox wants to locate ANY item with only a few matching intro letters........... This is VERY annoying.... I do believe that Firefox should be changed so the find search will be executed when "enter" is keyed.........

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Continuing problem with cursor jumping and more!

I had made a post about cursor jumping and thought I had solved the problem but it's back again with a twist. The cursor still jumps eratically in just about any program and will then settle down for awhile. What is also happening is the flyout tools in adobe photoshop and illustrator don't work properly or at all. I have tried trashing the preferences for illustrator and photoshop, repaired permissions, repaired the disk with disk utility- it says everything is fine. Now...... when I sartup off of my backup hard drive, everything is fine- cursor and all. Are there any ideas as to how I can solve the problem with my internal hard disk? I was told that I may have to wipe the hard disk clean and start over again. Are there any areas you can send me to that will help me do that?

I have this problem even before running this set up updates (not sure what version) so I have a hunch it may not be related to those updates (but not sure)..
.it started whem mine was new a few months ago and I am using a T410s....however I am also running win 7 64bit....
I did re-ren the windows touchpad calibration and it seemed to get better (NOT CONCLUSIVE) as it is intermitant and just started again...it would happen often for spurts then stop (Few days happening often)...when I am in hotel rooms or places with steam it seemed to happen more (not sure if coincidence)...I did run the tablet input calibration in the control panel but not sure if it fixes it...I don't know if it is softare or hardware and it is very anoying and intermitant...exact same things....cursor jumps to right corner and tablet keyboard shows up in left corner even though no touch...and it closes some apps...as that is where the X is....if you find anything PLEASE let me know...thanks

10.4.11 update and cursor jump

This problem occurs in Thunderbird, MS Word, Allgood Solitaire, Firefox, and so on.
I let Software Update download the 10.4.11 patch. I installed, rebooted etc. The cursor jumps when I use the trackpad, and also acts as double-click when I mouse-over a link, or hover over the deck in Solitaire. Action in Word was especially annoying -- cursor would select entire paragraphs or lines as I typed. I have to keep moving the cursor out of the window. The behavior for the window reminds me of focus feature in window under X-windows or Solaris, but here I can't tu
rn it off.so
Cursor behavior improved somewhat after running Disk Utility and fixing permissions.

I think 10.4.11 mistakenly sets Trackpad Gestures/Clicking as a default.
Here's the solution:
System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad
Under Trackpad Gestures, un-select Clicking.
Good luck!
