Since getting my 9300, typing has been tedious. I'm getting better. I was having a problem where when typing, the cursor would just randomly jump up a few lines in the middle of what I was typing. That drove me nuts! The Ctrl & FN keys are switched from my IBM laptop but no combination of an accidently Fn press would make the cursor just jump up a few lines so that wasn't it.
I finally figured out what I was doing that was driving me nuts. When typing, my right thumb would ever so gently touch the upper right corner of the touchpad. That's what was causing the cursor to jump up a few lines. Even wierder was that depending on where the actual mouse cursor was, touching the upper right area of the touchpad caused something different to happen.
It's like depending on what you do and where the mouse cursor is, it will either act on where the mouse cursor is or the typing cursor is.
How can I stop this? I tried not to touch it while typing but maybe I just have big thumbs? I put a post it note over the touchpad and all my problems are gone.
Anyway to disable the touchpad if the notebook detects I have another mouse connected? When home, I use the mouse from MS wireless desktop.
thanks
