Cursor Jumps Around Screen :: Linux Annoyances

Posted on 22:22 by Unknown

Heard lot of compliants about this strange case. The cursor seems to jump to different location on the screen while typing in OpenOffice on Ubuntu Linux laptops. I haven't faced this problem before. Perhaps checking 'Disable touchpad while typing' Touchpad setting in Mouse Preferences would fix this issue.





Ubuntu Mouse Preferences, touchpad settings



You can also use the following command to enable this setting from commandline.

gconftool --toggle /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/disable_while_typing
