MacBookPro Cursor jumps while I'm typing

whenever I'm typing an email or a note/letter, etc. my cursor will suddenly jump to somewhere else in the document. typically somewhere above where I'm typing. What am I doing wrong, because apple says they fixed it when I sent it back.

Hi CharlieMegan2,


We understand the cursor isn't working properly on your Mac. We're happy to offer some guidance.


You can first try starting the computer in safe mode to see if the issue still occurs.

It's also a good idea to check for any available updates on your system.

You can also set up a test user account to see if the issue occurs there, or if it's just isolated to your user account.

If the cursor is still not working properly, we'd recommend contacting Apple for assistance: Get Support


Hope this helps. Cheers!
