I also have same problem since ubuntu 11.04. for me this is not limited to text editor. i face this problem everywhere except in terminal.
most of time my pointer's position changes to any random position itself. and sometime content of last copied lined get paste itself at current position. this spoils my text, I have to undo every time. I am very sure that I dont touch my touchpad. what can be wrong ? please suggest -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262997 Title: gedit cursor change position during writing Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gedit if I write a letter with gedit, while typing the cursor change the line unexpectedly (Eg. i'm typing on line 52 and in the middle of a word the cursor move to line 47 ) this problem is repeated systematically during a session ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Aug 30 16:00:37 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gedit Package: gedit 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gedit Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/262997/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
