Windows 10: Cursor jumps a few lines; apparently at random when typing.

I noted many previous queries on similar topics going back more than a decade; couldn't find any responses other than the usual - maybe the update/only in Word/Office/turn off the touchpad etc.After a clean reinstall of Win. 10 the issue occurred about three times while typing a few paragraphs in a YouTube comment.

Cursor jumps around

Hi,

My cursor jumps around and is causing all kinds of typing errors in Word, Web apps (i.e., Facebook) and desktop apps (i.e., Evernote). Here's an example:

It's driving me cray ! No, I did not intentionaly mispell these words. y cursor did it for me. Mslz

Do you notice all the mis-spelled words? I typed it perfectly and Windows did the rest. Whenever I type the letter "y", my cursor jumps back a space (before the 'y'). It pushes the letter before the y to the end of my typing. Do you notice the "Mslz" at
the end?

• The 'z' is from cra(z)y
• The 'l' is from intentional(l)y
• The 's' is from mis(s)pell
• The 'M' is from (M)y

Sometimes the cursor jumps to the next line and elsewhere on the page. This example above is just one instance and it's driving me insane! Can someone please help?

cursor jumps around when writing an e-mail

I have a Dell Inspiron. When I am typing an e-mail, the cursor will not stay on line, but jumps around.

Any suggestions on solving this problem?
