Does this problem only occur in the message box? and how often does it happen?

And why do you miss Jack?

RE: Keyboard Craziness
So say you're typing "The cat eats fish & chips",  it may come out as "The cat & chipseats fish"?

I can think of 3 hardware-related situations where this could possibly happen:

a)Your keyboard has gone mad, or possibly you haven't set your keyboard correctly in the control panel, especially if you type in another languge.

b)you're using a laptop and the touchpad is extremely sensitive, it picks up the heat from your hand even when you're not touching it.
OR
You're using an optical/wireless mouse on any computer and that's causing trouble. You can tell cos the mouse cursor should be in the area where your typing has skipped to.

c)you have a device plugged in that is interfering, such as a joystick. I have a usb drum kit, and when I was playing Need for Speed it would cause havoc (XP recognises it as a joystick)

I think that it might be this too. You need to turn off the setting which makes it so you can also click by tapping the pad.

I've been doing some reading, and it seem that the trackpads don't actually operate by heat. Not that this helps your situation.
Googling laptop + cursor + jump returns a surprising number of results, with almost as many theories as to the cause of the problem.

Perhaps you should visit the manufacturer's website or some laptop user's community and see if you can find out if there are others with the same or similar models who are experiencing the same thing you are.
