Default Why does typing jump up several lines?

You got my hopes up, but our IT department assures me that I don't
have voice recognition software or a microphone. I was really hoping
you had found the answer. Bummer deal.

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.

This problem is quite frustrating.
