Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

When typing, my cursor jumps to other places in the document/email/even typing this question? Any ideas?

When typing (anything -- in email, a document, even this form) my cursor randomly jumps back to another location, so I end up typing words in the middle of other words. It is VERY annoying! Has anyone had this problem, and what was the solution? Thanks much! --Claire

I know this is an old thread but, for what it's worth, I have this problem too. I currently use both a late 2013 iMac and and MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). I have noticed it in numerous applications. My loose observation is that it is more likely to happen the faster I type BUT I am by no means a fast typist, all things considered. The iMac can't blame this on a swollen battery.
