Touch pads can be very sensitive, so even if one doesn't touch them
- or at least notice that one does - that cursor can hop all over
the screen when typing on a laptop keyboard. My suggestion is that
if one is doing serious work, attach a mouse and disable the touch
pad temporarily ...
It may be worth saying that many (most? all?) touchpads can have
their sensitivity adjusted (via the Control Panel or
wherever). Turning down the sensitivity can solve this problem with
gentle, unintentional thumb dragging whilst retaining touchpad
functionality when you need it.
I trust this helps.
