Default Why does typing jump up several lines?

Do you have voice recognition software? Try turning off the microphone.

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.

frustrating.
