Comment 2 for bug 883812

Thank you for responding. I'll try to do a better job of being as specific as I can.

At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem; This doesn't happen every time, but the way I see it it shldn't happen at all. I boot up. After logging in, the mouse cursor's in the middle of the screen, as it shld be. 2. the behavior you expected; I expected the mouse cursor to act normal =)

3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible); When I try to navigate my mouse cursor, it "skitters" all over the screen. When I say "skittering", I mean the mouse cursor moves abt like a drop of water on a red hot skillet. I have zero control over it. I can't even navigate the cursor to the shutdown/restart in the upper right screen. And as it skitters abt, it opens apps like crazy. Dozens and dozens. It stops, of course, when I stop trying to navigate it. I'm running a Sony VAIO with dual 2.0 ghz processors, 4 gigs of ram. My hardware's good. But there's something to be said abt the mouse cursor's behavior. Again, this is occasional, maybe 4 or 5 times out 10 bootups. Hope this is more useful. And thanks again for responding. Means a lot. ----- Original Message -----
