Default Why does typing jump up several lines?

Yeah, I have the same problem. I've tried getting a new keyboard (didn't
help) and a new mouse (also didn't help).

And no, Graham, it isn't a laptop. I just have to watch my screen as I type,
because my cursor will randomly jump up to a new spot. If I happen to have my
shift key depressed at the moment, it will select everything between the two
points, and the next keystroke will delete it all. Ctrl-Z has become my best
friend.

have also experienced a total loss of information. This problem is quite
frustrating.
