When opening an application

Question

Morning, I have just purchase an Imac 20 and have just started to have a problem when I open an application like mail or safari and when typing addresses in the bar or typing a message like I am now and the cursor moves from the area as though another process is starting or I have selected another area of the screen to do something else and I have to reposition my cursor in the address bar or message section to start typing again, can anyone through any light on this for me?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Congrats on your new iMac
Open System Preferences (Applications folder) and select "Mouse". Your tracking, double cick, and scrolling options are available there.
In the same window click Show All, then select "Keyboard" and select the Keyboard tab.
Set the key repeat and delay until repeat sliders to your liking.
Click, "Show All" again.. then select the "Universal Access". Make sure Voice Over is not selected.
Select the Keyboard tab and make sure Sticky Keys is "Off" and also for Slow Keys "Off"
Where you see the Acceptance Delay, set that in the middle of the slider.
Make sure the Mouse cable isn't interferring. Keep it away from the mouse pad.
