Cursor jump When I am typing, the cursor suddenly jumps back to an earlier line or word. Any ideas on what is causing this?

Do you have the ASUS Eee 1015PED?I have used it for hours on end and it still doen't get hot enough to cause any issues.

I had the same problem. I disabled the drag feature of the elan touchpad and then downloaded touchfreeze - freeware that seems to have fixed the problem.

>>Your palm could be bumping the touchpad.This is a common problem. There is one other thing I know of from my experience working for a large, mainframe computer company back in the day. In those times, quite a bit of data input was done by creating punchcards at a keyboard and machine made especially for that purpose. Once in a while, a customer would complain about extra spaces appearing in their data. A common cause was some old gal doing the keypunching whose puppies were getting a little droopy, if you know what I mean. Every now and again they would brush that spacebar and, voilà, an extra space, which the operator would, of course, swear that she had not typed. Just something to keep in mind. >>Your palm could be bumping the touchpad.This is a common problem.

Thanks. I will try to keep my hands up high and see if that solves the problem.

Your palm could be bumping the touchpad. I know this happens to me a lot. I also have this same netbook and noticed I am bumping the touchpad more often.

No it's not normal. Once I move the cursor to power off, sometimes I have to press enter several times before it powers down but when it does it goes down immediately.

I got and returned TWO of these things....both defective (though not in the way yours might be -- mine were multiple-typing on a single keystroke). Just FYI...

no but I have had the keyboard jump back to previous sites when I did not use that command or even think about that

I set mine up with the control key instead of the default(can't remember what the default key was). I press control twice fairly quickly and then hit enter to switch. Once you hit the control key twice, your cap-lock and scroll-lock lights on your keyboard should alternate(if you have lights)... it's waiting for the enter key.

Yes. When the keyboard is in control a cursor appears. Functions just like a laptop. Works well.

Very interesting. My former computer developed the same symptoms which is why I purchased the Aspire. Many told me I was touching the touchpad, but it still happened when I was alert and very cautious. It seems this problem is not unique but written up on the net. Google "jumping cursor problem." There is also a freeware program called, "Touch Freeze," which I found works, but not reliably. Hope this contributes toward a solution, JB

No, I can't type all the characters with both shift keys pressed down. For example 'T' doesn't work.

It's not the touchpad - it's your thumb. I had the same problem until I realized that I was letting my thumbs drop when typing. The cursor jumps to where the mouse pointer is when you're typing. Like most of my problems - it's between the keyboard and the chair.

I experienced the same. The solution is to switch the keyboard off before closing.

There is a backspace. I read somewhere that shift + backspace will work as a delete but I have not tried this. If that doesn't work try ctrl + backspace.

Not sure if i completely understand the question but the keyboard is very responsive and i haven't had any type of errors while typing nor when i have saved a typed document. It works just as a standard keyboard once it is connected. There is a slight lag when you first start typing but that is because the keyboard goes to sleep if not used over a period of time, other than that there has been no issue at all. I hope this answers your question. If not please clarify the question.

Hi,I haven't had any issues with that so far. Keyboard seems responsive. I typed 2/3 of an article and had no problems.

Are you sure that your hand isn't accidentally hitting the trackpad while you type? Try turning off the trackpad (I think it's Fn + F8) and typing like that.

CHange the sensitivity on the mouse pad, that's usually the cause of that problem, I have had the same laptop for 3 yrs now and I had to do it with this same model, problem solved. Or try and keep you hands away from the touchpad when typing. Its not a defective product, its defective typing b the owner basically. But if you change the built in mouse to be very slow it stops the problem, just too sensitive is all.

Try turning off number lock by default in the computer's BIOS. That's probably why it's doing this. And you should be able to do that within the session by pressing the number lock key on the keyboard.

I have the same issue. It's very annoying when i want to close a tab and move to another one. The delay between pushing the middle button and the action occurring is so long that sometimes I close the tab i hovered my pointer over, not the one I clicked.
