Yes, the touch pad can definitely make the focus jump around. I have mine
set to low sensitivity for that reason. The problem doesn't happen too
often, but once in a while it does and it seems to happen for no apparent
reason. A friend of mine also complained of it happening on her desktop
computer. Hmmm. . . maybe it's just one of those things we have to live
with for now.
Thanks very much for the suggestion,
Deanne

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Focus issue
I have had this happen to me off and on with the past few versions of JAWS.
For me it is not a JAWS issue. I use a laptop and there is a touch pad for
visual users to use to move the mouse around. There is also a small button
just above that touch pad that turns this touch pad on and off. If I do
not have the mouse touch pad turned off and I accidentally touch the pad
while typing, browsing or anything else the cursor will jump focus and
screw me all up and put me in a place I don't want to be. I found that as
long as I keep the mouse touch pad turned off, I never have any problems
keeping focus where I want it and everything works fine. I hope this
helps.
Your friend,

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Focus issue
Sometimes when I'm writing an email, or writing in MS Word, the cursor
will jump and all of a sudden I'm typing in the middle of the previous
sentence or the previous paragraph. And I never know the cursor has
moved until I review my text and find it all mixed up. It doesn't happen
too often, but I can never figure out what makes the cursor jump like
that. Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, is there any way to
keep it from happening?
Thanks for any help,
Deanne
