I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not, but I'll give it a try.
I received a dell laptop about 4 months ago from a company I work with. Immediately, I noticed that while typing, the cursor would start jumping to different areas, consequently severely messing up my flow. Sometimes it jumps and highlights everything you typed, and then replaces it. I know I'm not hitting anything else that would cause it to do this. I've had others try to type on it, and they've experienced the same annoying problem.
I've contacted the company about it, but does anyone know about this problem with Dell laptops, and if so, is there an easy fix? Ive tried researching it online, but I cannot find anything. If there is an easy solution or something I can try, I'd rather just do that, rather than sending the laptop back through the company and waiting for another one.

I agree with eitje.
The only other thing I can think of is that the previous owner may have created 'quick keys' with certain combinations of key strokes, but that seems unlikely.
