The cursor moves when you are typing, causing the text to be entered in the
wrong part of the screen.

When I type, the touchpad clicks randomly and the text goes in the wrong place
</title>
<p>
You might be brushing the touchpad with your wrists when you type, which could
change the position of the text entry cursor.
</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>
Click <guiseq><gui>System</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mouse</gui></guiseq>
and select the <gui>Touchpad</gui> tab.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Uncheck <gui>Enable mouse clicks with touchpad</gui>.
</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>
This will prevent the mouse from clicking when you tap the touchpad. You can
still click using the standard touchpad mouse buttons, though.
