What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I will be typing input into a document.
2. When I am typing in an Internet application especially (e.g. Wordpress) or 
using Citrix on another computer, will pause typing briefly (1-2 sec).  
Suddenly cursor is in a place where I have already typed, adding my text there. 
 I am not touching my pad when it jumps.
3. Wife has the same problem on Yahoo Mail.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is to continue typing where the cursor was.  Instead, get the 
text I am typing inserted somewhere else in my document.  So this paragraph 
might look like:  
Expected output is to coninserted somewhere else in my document.tinue typing 
where the cursor was.  Instead, get the text I am typing 
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using Version 1.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1

Please provide any additional information below.
Asus X53S with synaptics touchpad.  If I plug in a mouse, the problem seems to 
be much less frequent.

My Toshiba Laptop Windows 7 does the same thing. I'm not sure how to use 
touchfreeze? Is there something I could do to help this situation? Something 
newer available. Today's date is 6/26/14  Thanks.

I have the same problem, and have been reading complaints about this issue 
going back at least five years. How is it even possible that such an annoying 
glitch has not yet been clearly diagnosed and a simple, straightforward 
solution provided to everyone?

My control panel does not have any "Tapping" or "tap-to-click" option anywhere 
that I can find. The "touchfreeze" file does not have a valid Publisher's 
signature.

Very pleased to see others who have this problem. I have Vista 32 home premium 
with built-in touchpad. Alps util. touchpad detection with 2 buttons L & R.
Letters appear within sentence out of turn. Otherwise it may seize. Often the 
cursor flies off to off the field of vision. 
Nothing solves it but a factory reset, seems to me from last time, yet it 
returns.
Is it certain letters that trigger?

I installed TouchFreeze donationware 1.1.0 from 
https://code.google.com/p/touchfreeze/ on my Dell Inspiron laptop with Vista 
Home Premium. The jumping cursor problem has not shown its ugly head ever 
since. I leave it in Automatic Mode (by right or left-clicking on the 
TouchFreeze icon in the notification area of the task bar, and selecting "Load 
at system startup").
