Folks:
I've had this thread posted on the LM forum for several weeks with little offered for solutions, let alone comment on the problem. I searched google and see that there are many similar complaints, I have "disable touchpad while typing" checked . . . . I'm posting this question here based upon a recent check of the sources.list in LM 13 . . . most of which is ubuntu-based--perhaps there might be some experience into this problem from this forum? I do have two installs of PPC Xubuntu/Lu 12.04 on two of my PPC units and haven't had this level of problem, whereas the LM13 MATE 64 install on my MBPro seems to find this problem, particularly in FF, but tested in Midori, and a number of DEs . . . across the board the problem will occur, where typing along peacefully and suddenly cursor jumps to back in the text box, erasing data in between . . . yesterday I noticed that when I hit the shift key to capitalize a letter . . . the problem happened, just the first time I noticed that aspect.
Anyway, thanks for any insights . . . .
et al:
Moving this post over to a new topic, I searched the forum here, as well as google, and saw reference to mouse/cursor moving erratically, or losing control of mouse, and there was a bug report from Sept '12, that I couldn't find buried in the list of bug reports with a similar issue as mine, but no solutions found. The problem is that the mouse/cursor will suddenly jump back in an email, usually in a browser, and the typing will just start there; and more annoyingly, sometimes the text between where it was and where it ends up, will be erased. It might be in this post, after almost getting to the end, suddenly it will all be erased. I couldn't find any insights into this problem, so I'm posting here. Actually there was a post from someone in LM14 with the jumping cursor problem, the answer given by someone was to update the xserver-xorg-core file . . . I checked mine in synaptic and it's as new as it can be for LM13. Perhaps someone can offer some insights? The code above is showing the errors that came when I tried to install Chromium . . . in both Synaptic and Terminal.
