Cursor Jumps when typing an email reply

This is a weird thing once in a while while typing in a reply email on my Iphone 4 The cursor will jump down for no reason wiping out the text below. I since shut of the keyboard shortcut and it seems to be fine but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this. Thanks

Does the cursor always drop to the bottom? If so, perhaps your hitting the text when trying to type the top row of keys.
Regarding troubleshooting, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Cursor jumps when typing

    I see a bit of chatter on this here and on the web, but no solutions that I can find.
    When typing in a document, in wordpad for instance, the cursor (and text entry point) will suddenly jump elsewhere.  Typically up a couple of lines.  Since it happens while typing, I end up corrupting the document.
    Disabling the touch pad does not solve the problem.
    Clues?

    Just throwing a thought into the pot; I note that the touchpad has been turned off and the cursor is still "jumping", is the press to select function for the trackpoint also turned off?

  • Cursor jumping when typing in browser - cured by opening pages

    Hello,
    When typing in a browser window (Chrome, Safari, and Firefox) my cursor was jumping around. This made all my words jibberish. If I typed extremely slowly, I could get it to work. Did a restart with no success. Unplugged my computer from the internet and plugged back in to see if that would have an affect. Problem persisted. I did not power down the modem as a family member is working on a project with a severe time crunch. Out of curiosity, I opened Pages to see if my words would get jumbled there. No issues. Tried browsers again. Now they work. I am concerned about a virus because earlier today I downloaded Ubuntu for my sister whose Windows laptop has some serious issues. Not sure if this was a coincidence or if someone over at Ubuntu is playing games with me. Any opinions about what happened/is happening would be appreciated. A virus scan with VirusBarrier Plus found no issues.
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    When you have a problem with a Mac, a "virus" should be the last thing you suspect, not the first. That's the Windows way of thinking.
    "VirusBarrier" is completely worthless and you should get rid of it.
    From the browser menu bar, select
    Edit ▹ Substitutions
    and uncheck Text Replacement.

  • Cursor jumps when typing in all applications

    As I type, in any application, the cursor jumps up and inserts itself into a line several lines above. It happens in Mail, Gmail, Pages, Notes, Text/Edit, Microsoft Word, and as I type this document. The problem has existed from when I first got the MacBook a month ago, and continues despite numerous suggested fixes by Apple Care. In addition to the trackpad I use a wireless optical mouse with the nano receiver plugged into computer’s USB port. Earlier I had the mouse in a USB hub; I stopped using the hub. No phones or electronic devices are close to the computer.
    When typing I don’t touch the trackpad, but the heel of both hands hovers over its top right and left corners.
    The cursor was jumping before I installed Office for Mac, and after it was un-installed during two OS re-installations; MS Word does not seem not to be the culprit. The problem is frequent but intermittent, and hard to isolate or find a trigger. Although not constant, it is distracting and time-consuming to untangle an affected paragraph. I need to use a mouse when typing, but also like to have the trackpad for scrolling and changing documents.
    On the advice of Apple advisors, I have:
    Erased and re-installed OS 10.9.5 (twice).
    Re-installed Pages, Numbers, Keynote.
    Re-installed Office for Mac (twice).
    Rebooted in safe mode.
    Re-set PRAM and cleaned out RAM.
    Repeatedly disabled/re-enabled trackpad. (SysPref>Accessibility), trying to isolate issue.
    Tried using another mouse.
    Tried using trackpad only, no mouse.
    Tried changing fonts.
    Monitored my typing to see if I am brushing any odd combination of keys (I type fast but make errors).
    Could it be a conflict between mouse and trackpad? Am I mistakenly hitting an odd key or key combination? Could it be related to the heat of my hands hovering over trackpad? Grateful for anything that leads to a solution.
    MacBook Pro (mid-2014), Retina display. OS 10.9.5 fully updated. 16GB RAM, 512 GB Flash

    I had the same problem. Visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB4700HI0007R01.htm and you'll find the solution. I hope so.

    Are you touching the Touchpad with your palms/hands while typing?
    Turn off the touchpad by pressing Fn+F9, or disable "Tapping" in the Advanced Touchpad Settings.

  • Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

    Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

    I can offer suggestions, but I can not fix it.
    Press enter three or four times before you start typing and then move the cursor back to the start. What happens is your point of insertion gets outside your predefined font range, it is a know bug and that will help you "stay in the lines" Another option is type Rick, go back to the start and then type your message. Anything which keeps the insertion point from the very end of the email really.

  • When typing an email I need each new sentence to automaticaaly start with a capital letter. At present after a full stop the new sentence automatically starts with a lower case letternot an upper case one

    When typing an email new sentences do not automatically start with a capital letter after a full stop.
    Surely this should happen automatically without the need for me to touch the capital letter icon.

    Either you didn't actually call Apple, and got some tech support scammer instead (calling the first number that pops up on a Google search for "Apple support" can give you some bad numbers), or the Apple tech you spoke to didn't know what he's talking about. It's not a virus.
    As for the problem, if you have enabled auto-capitalization and the problem continues, first try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • When typing an email address and locating it if you hit the tab button it occasionally defaults to another similar address

    When typing address and the existing recipient shows up I click on it and hit the tab button. If there is a similar address that I email more frequently it defaults to that.
    type mike@ and [email protected] and [email protected] shows up. I click on [email protected] and hit the tab button the system changes it to [email protected] because I email that more frequently.

    Yes this is broke. The forum is full of the exact same report. They are working on a fix.

  • Email problem when typing in email addresses using Mail on the iPhone 3G

    Hi,
    I have a problem whilst typing in email addresses into the Mail App To: field. Basically, what's happening is this.
    When I first got the phone, I was using a Hotmail account as well as a Googlemail account which I had going through the Mail App, my hotmail address was used for work so on occassions, I would email my Hotmail account from the Mail App on my phone.
    The problem I have is that I now have a new Hotmail account and when I start to type the address into the To: field in Mail App, it still shows my old Hotmail account address rather than the one I am now using. I only now send to the new Hotmail address so I thought that it would replace the old one when I start typing the address in the To: field.
    Has anyone else found this at all? It's rather annoying as everytime, I have to type the whole address even though I have sent many recently and never send to the old Hotmail address anymore but the old address comes up as soon as I start to type the new address.
    Can anyone please help me on this?
    Many Thanks,
    Adam

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

  • Very recently when typing an email in Firefox, if I make a typo and try to backspace to correct, I get a sound and it will not backspace.

    I am on MacBook running on OSX 10.6.8. When I'm typing an email, if I make a typo and try to delete it or backspace, all I get is a computer sound and it will not allow me to do anything. I have to close that page and start over completely. It will not do it every time but does it frequently. I don't know what triggers it and how to make it stop.
