I’m not blaming him, but ever since Lski had me install the synaptic driver in an attempt to disable the ability to double click the touch pad, my cursor frequently jumps back in my paragraph while typing, causing me to add random words in the middle of shit that I’ve already wrote. HIGHLY irritating. I uninstalled the synaptic driver, and the problem is still there. Any suggestions before I reload windows?!☹ ---

> [@Roughest commute](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/roughest-commute/28334/2): > > Move your fat fucking hands off the touch pad while typing! :rofl Pretty much. It’s a user error not OS/Driver error. Your hand just lightly skims the pad, causing it to happen. Happens to me every now and then. Good job LKsi on the utility post. Edit: Was this my first PJB-like post? ---
