http://askubuntu.com – i updated to 12.10 beta 1 when it was released (coming from 12.04 fresh install, i skipped the alpha releases of 12.10) since then i've done all the usual updates but ive had an issue with my cursor jumping. it does not jump when typing, i've done a lot of searching and cant find an answer, it tends to happen most when i move the cursor the jump is maybe 15-20 pixels down and to the right it seems like a display issue because if i hover over a link or the x to close a window the cursor will settle in it's down/right position, but the whatever im hovering over will still act as if that's wher (HowTos)

Stories similar to cursor jumps when moving (and some other times)

When typing in Ubuntu my cursor jumps around and its not application specific. It doesn't matter or Im filing in a web form, writing an e-mail or using LibreOffice or Lyx. Im using a Sony Vaio 64bit machine.

i read a previous question (link below) on this subject which indicates it may have something to do with the touchpad settings.

I'm on FC17 - a recently upgrade system. I'm having issues when typing in Firefox - as I'm typing, the cursor will just randomly jump to some other random place in the text. As I'm mostly typing in Firefox, I don't know if the problem is in Firefox or in another package.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

My wife has an HP laptop running windows 7. She has a very frustrating problem when typing: in some, but not all cases, typing the letter's "y" or "t" will cause the cursor to jump back a few lines or some number of words.

When typing in konsole, I have the following problem.

As I move the cursor to the right, more and more space appears accumulated in the display before the cursor. resulting the sort of display seen in the screenshot.

What is the solution?

Hey all,I just installed Arch on a new hard drive on a Macbook Pro. I am using the subtle window manager. For some reason, my cursor arrow is cut in half so that only the top half is visible. This is the case with all cursors (i.e. the pointer cursor, the text bar cursor, etc).

I'm trying to read from a SQLite database using the following code:

public List<DBEntry> getAllDBEntrys() { List<DBEntry> DBEntrys = new ArrayList<DBEntry>();

Cursor cursor = database.query(DatabaseClass.TABLE_APPTS, allColumns, null, null, null, null, null);

cursor.moveToFirst(); while (!cursor.isAfterLast()) { DBEntry DBEntry = cursorToDBEntry(

Hello,I upgraded to mc 4.8.5-1 a few days ago. Using mcedit:If one (or more) TABs were used in a line the position of the cursor is two chars away (to the right) from where it should be. Simply edit the line and you see what i mean.

While editing a simple text file where every line is nearly to the end of screen, I was expecting vim to retain the column position as I used j and k to move up and down.

Surprisingly, it does not happen.
