I've been struggling with this issue as well. I type really fast so I thought i was inadvertantly hitting the touchpad and moving the cursor. Maybe, maybe not. But today I discovered that changing one of the dafault settings for the touchpad has eliminating the jumping cursor trouble and I can type fast again without constantly checking my screen to see which line I'm actually typing in.
Here's what I did: Go to the control panel and the mouse and click on the icon for the touchpad and uncheck the touchpad setting "tap to click"
I also put my speed and sensitivity about in the mid-range. (Another suggestion that didn't work was to make my touchpad less sensitive).
Happy typing!
You might be accidentally tapping the touchpad, try typing with your hands raised a little bit higher and see if that helps.

In my Dell Inspiron 1525 the cursor changes placement while you are typing; that is, you end up typing in a different line, at the beginning of a sentence or even in a different box! It seems like the mouse clicks itself!
I have the same problem. It is so frustrating
Not an issue of inadvertantly touching another key. I can recreate the problem typing "tom" quickly.
I thought I was the only one, and I can assure you that I am not clicking on the touch pad. It drives me absolutely insane. Anyone have a fix or know if there is a fix to this now common issue ?
In Vista there is no icon for the touch pad in Control Panel / Mouse.
What do you mean by jump back?
