In Safari, often i will be doing anything (maybe clicking a link for example) and my cursor will suddenly jump, usually to the top right od the screen. This seems to be a software thing, rather than my mouse per se. has anyone else found this, or know how to reslove it? Thanks :) :confused:
 
That happens to me too. I didn't identify that it was only in safari, but I've gotten so used to it that I don't even notice it anymore.
 
Is your mouse an optical? If it is, then I suspect you've got an over reflective mousepad. This can cause the mouse to jump around the screen sometimes. Try using a piece of graph paper or something similar as a mouse pad for a while and see if that changes things.

Click to expand...

thanks, and as the other guy said, whilst it isn't very annoying it would be nice to sort. I'll give the paper trick a try, as it is a nasty wood veneer surface at the mo. yup, its an optical mouse
