Question: Help me cure my jumping cursor while typing! We have a new 2010 Dell Studio XPS laptop with Windows 7 and are experiencing a cursor jump while typing. The cursor jumps to a point above where it was during the typing (frequently to the TO or CC line of an e-mail message). The jump is unpredictable in terms of timing and position to which it goes.

When the jumps occur, we have not touched the touch pad. This jumping occurs both with and without an external mouse attached.
