I am using Ubuntu 9.04 for my Dell Vostro 1400 laptop, and faced a very annoying problem where the cursor jump to other location - probably to the location of mouse arrow - while I am typing.
How do I solve this problem?
What I do is, I disable the "Enable mouse click with touchpad" in the "Mouse Preferences" dialog box.
To bring up the "Mouse Preferences" dialog, click on System > Preferences > Mouse.
