I have unchecked the box that activates this feature and it STILL does it!
I have a Dell, I use both the touchpad and a regular mouse and it does it
with both even though I have supposedly disabled this feature. What else can
I do? This is creating problems for me because I am typing a thesis for my
Master's and it keeps inserting the cursor (and unwanted text) in the wrong
places AS I TYPE. And just now, it closed a window! Please help!!
