Why does the cursor jump from the Name box to the password box when logging in to Gmail?

When logging in to Gmail, I often (8/10) times find that while I am still typing the username, the cursor has jumped to the password box. The result is that part of the username is typed into the password box. I then have to click back onto the username box and re-enter the username.

Yes, this is very annoying!
I suspect a timing issue, that is, Google's scripts are still running for a while after the page is displayed and when the scripts see a non-blank value in the username, they moves the focus to the password ''even if you are in the midst of typing''.
If I wait a few seconds before I start typing in the username field, there's no problem. (I haven't experimented with the amount of time.)

  • 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")

  • The cursor jumps to a different section of the page when typing

    Whenever I type either in emails or on web pages, while typing the cursor either jumps to an earlier section of the text I am typing and my text appears there, or the view of the page jumps to the end of the page.

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why does my cursor arrow refuse to open links.  The arrow changes to the text bar

    When I have links or boxs that tell me to check them to opne something or go somewhere else, my cursor arrow, when I move it over the print, changes to the text bar that shows where my curcsor is within text.  Then nothing happens when I click on the link or instructions to "click here."
    So when friends or anyone sends me an e-mail with a URL I'm supposed to click on the arrow disappears and goes back to a text bar and I can't open the link.  Sometimes I can copy the URL into the browser to make it work, but why can't I click on the link or URL (blue)?
    Help!

    Two things to try:
    1. Trash the preferences file - this often solves otherwise inexplicable issues.
    2. A corrupt monitor profile may also be causing the issue.
       This thread explains how to change the profile in a Windows machine: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14070-How-to-assign-an-sRGB-ICC-Profile-to-y our-monitor-(Windows)
       I will let someone else explain the process for a Mac OS machine if that is what you are using and it appears that the monitor profile may be an issue.

  • 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?

  • How / When Does a Device Jump from the 2.4 GHz Network to the 5.0 GHz Network

    I understand -- through another thread that I started -- that the Guest Network will be both 2.4 GHz as well as 5.0 GHz....I would like to understand how / when does a device jump from the 2.4 GHz network to the 5.0 GHz network as I understand that: the 2.4 GHz network is slower but has greater range relative to the 5.0 GHz network.
    Thx...

    A device will connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its own capabilities and distance in relation to the router.
    So, if you have a 5 GHz capable device that is in close proximity to the router, it will connect at 5 GHz.  If that device moves a few rooms away from the router, it will switch over to the 2.4 GHz band since that signal will be stronger....and likely faster at that location.
    Think of 5 GHz as a "same room" connection or "line-of-sight" deal. It might be OK through one wall....if it is thin.
    You do have an option to assign a separate name to the 5 GHz band in AirPort Utility. Once you have done that, simply "point" the device at the network with the 5 GHz name. Some users swear by this and some swear at this.
    The downside to doing this......the device will likely try to hang on to the 5 GHz connection if it moves a few rooms away from the router.....at a location where the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger and likely faster.
    Again, thanks for the very helpful response.
    It occurs to me from reading the above that it makes sense to let the device (using your words) connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its capabilities and distance in relation to the router as I can see / understand the downside and issue of manually pointing to or selecting  a specific network.
    The reason that I purchased an Apple router is the hope that it will work better than some of the other routers I have tried as far as the 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz dual banding is concerned because in most of these cases I have had to disable the 5 GHz band to maintain a reliable internet connection...hopefully the Aiport Extreme will not require me to do so [i.e. it will work]!
    With respect to *BOTH* the Primary Network and the Guest Network being dual band I can only conclude that this work because there are essentially two separates networks [i.e. 10.o.x.x and 172.16.x.x] that are using the send / receive configuration capabilities.
    Thx...

  • When I touch the trackpad the cursor jumps away from the bubble.

    I thought this might be a bug, but I'm not sure anymore. I have Sophos for Mac and it hasn't noted any problems. What happens is that when I initiate a tap on the trackpad the cursor jumps away from the item or bubble I am trying to tap. It is annoying but not bothersome enough to ruminate about. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem?

    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

    I'm using a 2014 Macbook Air. It's running Yosemite.
    Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?
    On my older Macbook at work, calendar stays full screen whether I exit the app or restart the computer (similar to Mail - which is staying in full screen on both computers).
    Please help me adjust settings so I don't have to keep putting Calendar into full screen.
    Thanks!

    Hi everyone
    Does anyone have corrective advice for me to follow please?
    In attempting to update the iPhone to the iOS6 today (from iOS5.1), I received the following error message:

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • I have an iphone 5 and the battery jumps from 40 odd % to 14 in a blink. Also it turns off at 30 odd regular. Why is this ?

    I have an iphone 5 and the battery jumps from 40 odd % to low battery ie: 13% in a blink also it turns off regular when on 30 odd % why is this ?

    Hi, I'm having the same problem as well. It shuts off after reaching 20-30% and asks for recharge, then after 5 minutes I can turn it back on, but it keeps shuting off unexpectedly
    Bad thing is that my warranty expired 130 days ago. Apple doesn't want cover a new battery replacement (and it costs $400 here in Brazil)
    Clearly it's a manufacturer malfunctioning.
    How did you proceed with it? Did you solve this problem? I have an Iphone 5 with iOS 7.1
    Thanks

  • Why does my cursor keep jumping around

    Why does my cursor keep jumping around the page when I'm in mail or searching with firefox.  Aslo, sometimes my page minimizes for no reason and new pages open. This has started since upgrading to OS X

  • Regardless of the application the cursor jumps to different location

    First time this happened was while doing a PowerPoint presentation (for Mac 2011, 14.3.9).
    While doing so the cursor jumped somewhere else. The Beamer then showed my Desktop instead of the presentation.
    I do not opened PP and am working in Apple Mail. While Typing the cursor jumps somewhere else and the text can't be continued before I jump back.
    this happens even while typing this text.
    What can I do?
    I have problems to figure out why this happens.
    Does anyone have the same problem?

  • 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.........

    Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to do is view it ?

    My local computer shop solved the problem. Apparently when you download cloud it changes a lot of settings.
    So second issue.
    Why do I now get asked to burn to disc rather than saving to my hard drive when I want to export from Lightroom ?

  • When I point and click, the cursor jumps into the wrong place. Help!

    Dear Apple Community,
    When I slide my cursor onto a selected item, it jumps away from that letter/number or selection when I click it.
    It is OK if I remove my hand, but I like to rest my palm on the keyboard to avoid repetitive strain injury.
    This never happened with my white Macbook. Is it something to do with metal magnetism?
    Can you tell me how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Did you solve your problem? When I point my cursor to select some thing like text or a button on a web page the cursor jumps a bit so it's hard to zero in on the correct selection,  it's so frustrating!
