possible bug report: cursor's sudden jumps

[morelweb]

My cursor jumps unexpectedly to other ligns from time to time, while I'm
typing (very troublesome)

It reminds of drivers's bugs in the old times, but it is NOT a driver
problem, since it appears only with OneNote, and not with other Office
softwares. (I use -with great delight- OneNote 2003+SP1, on a Dell Latitude
D610, with XP Home SP2; and Office XP)

Any idea ?

This happens to me, too, but I've been assuming that it's caused by my hand
accidentally brushing the mouse touchpad!

Happens to me too. However, I noticed it happen on my other laptop as
well. I was thinking that it might be from one of those MS patches,
because that is the only common thing they have and both started around
the same time.

I have searched the MS website for help with this problem. Nothing. I called
my Avearatec support line and loaded latest drivers. Still problem exists. I
am finding One Note not usable unless I can solve this problem. It is so
frustrating to be looking away from the screen and to look up and see you are
in a totally different place in the document.

Odd. I'm using an Averatec C3500 and I've not had this problem yet. Any
chance you're accidentally brushing the touchpad?

I cannot speak for the others but I know it's not the touch pad.
Sometimes the cursor jumps to other parts on the screen, sometimes it
just disappears and I have to move teh mouse around to get it to show
up, usually at the bottom.

Which graphics driver do you have installed, and which pen driver?

I've checked it is not due to my unwillingly brushing the touchpad;
It does NOT come from a Tablet PC driver, since I use a classic PC.
I will dig into this graphic driver idea, since I sometimes use a Wacom
drawing tablet on my PC.
....Does anybody has the same problem WITHOUT using any drawing tablet or
device ???
