My cursor will move to another place within a paragraph or sentence while I am typing anything. This happens with many letters, like h, i, y etc..., I also notice that the letter p will sometimes highlight a sentence and the very next keystroke wiill delete I just typed. As a matter of fact this has happened 3 times during this paragraph.

Hello there,

This issue could be caused by add-ons or extensions installed in your browser. If you go ahead and disable them and see if that solves the issue. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons

1. Click the menu button and choose Add-ons. 2. In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance panel. 3. Select the add-on you wish to disable. 4. Click its Disable button. 5. Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.

Give those steps a try and keep us posted.

Hope this helps!

Can you try a different keyboard?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that helps.
