Is it possible you're accidentally hitting the Ctrl or Alt keys while you're
typing, so that the keyboard is sending combinations that jump to the beginning of the sentence or paragraph or whatever? Another possibility that came to mind is if you're using a laser mouse, sometimes the tracking mechanism can get messed up and jump all over the place. I'm not sure if it might click itself in a new location to change the cursor, but who knows? I've had that problem with my laser mouse (and am about to go back to the regular ball type; grrr...). I hope you find the solution. I can understand how frustrating it must be! Good luck.
