Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Everytime I am typing, the cursor tends to move and then I am typing inside of another word. I always have to be careful and check that what I am typing is correct because of how often this happens. It doesn't matter if I am in open office or emailing or just on the internet. It always seems to happen. I am not sure why all of a sudden it doesn't just leave off from where I am typing it jumps back up to where I typed earlier and just starts from there. This causes a lot of problems. Can you help please?
