Cursor jumps unprompted when typing to previous line of text or text box

Recently I have been experiencing this phenomenom:
When I am tying in Word or an email (Gmail) my cursor will ocassionally and unexpectedly jump to a line of text a few lines above where I am typing or in some cases a previous text box (in the case of Gmail).
Anyone have an idea what the cause/fix is? I called Apple support and they didn't want to diagnose over the phone, assuming a software issue that would not be covered by my call-in period.

Same problem same system. Is your model a 17"? I've been to the Genious bar, and shipped the unit to Texas for repair. Apple has yet to publish a resolution to this issue.
I suspect it's the NVIDIA 8600GT graphics card.

Curser moves all over the place when typing in forms, hotmail & this text box

I upgraded at Christmas with a SSD & Windows 7. Since then when I try to type in text boxes such as this the curser will move back or forward a few lines. I've been advised turn off the firefox spell check but this hasn't helped.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Cursor randomly jumps backwards when typing sentence

How can I find solution to the cursor randomly jumping backwards when typing a sentence... I end up with my name is Chris and I haven typing a sentence this trouble whe
== This happened ==

Is this happening on specific sites or totally at random?

My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. i've tried different mice, different usb ports

I have a new HP pavillon HPE windows 7. My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. I've tried different mice and usb ports.I contacted HP support and was instructed to do several things to the mouse and pointer, nothing helps. I installed in usb port in the rear of the computer that helped for a short time, then it went back to jumping around. So what else can I try. Thanks

I have to admit I am baffled. I understand and have seen the issue happen on laptops before, but for the issue to be happening on a desktop strange. I can even understand a wireless mouse, however yours is wired.
Microsoft has a tool called Mr Fix it. It scans the problem area and attempts to fix whatever is wrong. It's worth the shot in this case to see if it helps resolve the mouse issue.

Pages document jumps down when typing.

Hi everyone.
Ok, I'm working on a Pages document modified from one of the templates and trying to add in/edit text in the middle of the second page (which is basically one big text box containing a few placeholder images set for wrap-around text.) But, for some reason, the document jumps down to the bottom of page 2/top of page 3 when I start typing. It's accepting what I type but I can't see it as it's added and it's driving me nuts.
I've fiddled with the settings as much as I dare, been through the online manual and searched the discussion topics but can't find anything on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just to add in one thing:
I've worked out why it jumps down. It's simply showing the end of the block of text in that text box - which I should probably have worked out straight away. Sorry! Obviously that's not a problem when you're adding on to the end of what you've written, but if the box is bigger than the window the document's open in it can be.
So one possible solution is to split the one big box into smaller ones so they each fit within the window. I've tried that, and it works, but it's a bit of a pain if you've got a long passage to type without obvious places to break it up. So does anyone know of any way to stop Pages doing this?
Thanks

Cursor momentarily spins when typing

When typing each letter or space in a a small InDesign doc my cursor has begun momentarily spinning (small color wheel). It does this (off and on) as long as I continue typing. With the constant appearance and disappearance of the spinning color wheel at the place of the cursor it is very difficult to concentrate. I've tried all the relevant preferances and menus to see if I accidentally turned something off or on. I have a 2.8gh Quad-Core with 24 g of RAM and a 30" Apple screen so there is no need for a processing pause while simply typing in InDesign. Any solution out there?

It's stored locally, Peter. Your suggestions did not seem to solve the problem, and I rebooted to make sure both options were functional. Thanks to your reply, though, I just discovered that this problem is isolated to this current doc and does not appear in a new InDesign doc nor my old InDesign docs. Thus I'll make a new doc and drop my text into it. I should have thought of that before. Many thanks!

Email cursor jumping around while typing????

My cursor jumps around while I am typing and is just erratic.

I have this issue as well. I am using a early 2008 macbook, 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo. I usually am only typing on this computer for email. I have tried both firefox and safari with the same issue. I was initially hoping it was just a bug in the application, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying? I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill. It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear. And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.

Error when adding image in-line with text

When using some of my templates I have no problem in putting
a small graphic (a pdf icon) in-line with text. Yet with others the
insertion of the same small graphic forces a newline before and
after the graphic.
If the text and image is placed in an editable region of the
template, but not within a table cell all is ok.
If the text and image is place within a table cell within the
editable region the problem arises. I am sure there is something I
have specified incorrectly but cannot discover what it is.
An example of where it works fine is:

I am using Dreamweaver 8 within Studio 8 and run under

Is this the belt and bracers approach? 8)
Anyhow, your problem is in the very first line of one of
those (take your
pick) -
TD IMG {
DISPLAY: block
That causes images in table cells to behave as a block tag.
Block tags
force all adjacent content to the next line.

Objects (lines) and text boxes are not able to be made bigger or smaller

first of all: For no reason at all, all of my text boxes are now set up as threaded text. I dont know how that turned on. When i go to "type"
and try to select "threaded text" it wont allow me to select it - it is not highlighted. So I have no clue
how to turn this off. Now I can not stretch my text boxes to suit whats in them - ie: make them bigger or smaller, ie: there are only two boxes to drag - one at either side of text box and they wont allow me to drag them to make the box bigger - only to move the entire box (before there were 4 boxes to manipulate the size of the text box - one on each corner - now there are only two) and this seems to apply
to many other objects now. when i draw a line, I have to make sure that line is the exact right size because once i draw it - it wont allow me to make it bigger or smaller - it only allows me to move it to a different place - i dont understand what is happening

thanks for writing back
i am pretty sure it is area type because in type i can see "area type options"
i dont know how to turn bounding boxes on or off so I can not answer that question.
yes i should be able to resize the bounding text box by dragging and ive always been able to do that. however I can no longer do that. the usual bounding text box that i am accustomed to has little teeny boxes all around the entire box - in each corner - so i can drag each corner easily
this set up that has currenly taken over my illustrator program has only TWO little teeny weeny boxes that when selected wont allow me to drag them to resize at all. when i double click on one of these two little teeny boxes it gives me the thread text tool... which i dont want and have never even used before
i just want my text boxes and everything else to go back to normal so i can drag them to resize them again
does that make more sense or have i explained it better?
thanks for your help! Kim

Hi Hasan,
According to your description, my understanding is that the multi text column with append mode is not working fine in your SharePoint 2010.
For reproducing your scenario, I created a new custom list , turned on its version feature and added a multi text column with append mode. But it was working fine when I change the values of both the
multi text column and other columns.
For your issue, could you create a new list to verify the multi text column with append mode works correctly.
Best Regards,
Eric
