Hmm, I am using a regular old desktop computer and occasionally the same happens to me, no touch pad,. I have a laptop but I hate using it, I can't seem to get the laptop keyboard structure in Jaws to work, and I hate having the mouse pad in front, means I need to lean forward to actually type and so, I use one as seldom as possible, or I get the wireless Logitech keyboard out to use it.
I have occasionally experience the jumping to another place in a document and finding I have put something I did not want in a place I did not want also.

I have noticed some strange behavior when using Outlook 2010 and Word 2010. When I am typing in a document or message, my cursor will occasionally jump to a different place in the document, resulting in me inserting text where I did not intend to. Sometimes, the text that I have just typed will just suddenly disappear. A few minutes ago, two paragraphs just disappeared from the bottom of a Word document. I thought that I might be accidently hitting the touch pad and moving the cursor or selecting text that way. However, even if I am hitting the touch pad, I know that I am not pressing the mouse buttons at the bottom of the touch pad. Just touching it shouldn't move the cursor or select text, should it? This can be very frustrating. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong and how to fix it.
