The cursor jumps (from the end point of typing to
wherever the mouse last left the cursor) in Wordpad
on both the ancient Toshiba Satellite laptop and the
newish Gateway, so that instead of finishing the word
I am typing (blind, being a touch-typist) the last letters
pop up on a different line, perhaps in the middle of an
unrelated word   This never happens on the desktops,
not even when writing in Wordpad.

Where is this glitch -- in the software or in hardware
controllers for the mouse on laptops?
