Shoutbox

Well hi, while i'm typing in the message box in any conversation window, suddenly i see i started to type at the begining , or in the middle of what i'm writting.

Means, if i was writting, HI how are u jack, miss you, for example, if i reach "miss" i find my self typing after "how".

thanks in advance

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

And why do you miss Jack?

Are you using a auto-talker with StuffPlug NG, the yoda talker does this.

no i'm not using anything!! i would like also to inform u , that this also happens in WOrd, Note pad bla bla

and heheh , i dont miss jack it's just an example heheh.

and this problem is always presite.

thx

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)

well i'm using a portable, but i dont think that it's because the sensitivity of the mouse, because i had that issue before but i dont remember how i solved it. i think ur right in changing its settings, but what should i change, i just type english!.

thx in advance

"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."
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.

but if u say it's because of the heat , why this doesn't happen always, i mean sometime, for months i dont face such a thing.

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.

ok  will try
