I have recently (last October) acquired a new laptop and got rid of my desktop. It's a Dell with Intel quad-core processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD running Win 7 Home Premium. I believe that when I installed OpenOffice on this machine it was the first time I had used version 3.4.1. I think my desktop had 3.3 on it but I can't swear to that. The reason I mention this, is that I'm not sure which is to blame for this behaviour, OOo or the new laptop.

I am editing my book manuscript which has a master file and over 50 individual chapter files. Anyway, this is what is happening: When I am in the midst of editing a file, the cursor will jump from it's position to some other seemingly random position with no warning... even if my hands are not touching it, so I know it is not something I am doing by accident and not noticing.

Also, I keep all the files set at View -> Zoom -> Variable 120%. For no apparent reason, with no input from me, the size will change or the file will shift position in the window.Sometimes it does both at the same time.

This is very, very, very irritating.
