It is driving me crazy. How do I stop this? If I am not paying attention, it jumps back into the sentence I just typed.

1. TOUCHFREEZE (see google)
2. Use an external mouse.
3. MacGyver. Take a sheet of a post it note and cut to the size of the touch pad and cover it with the post it note.

Open the "Mouse" icon in "Control Panel", then click on the "Pointer Options" tab, then UNCHECK the box next to "Enhance Pointer Precision". Click on "apply", then OK.

Hope this helps.
