The cursor jumps to wherever the pointer is while typing in text boxes.How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?.Since installing Mozilla Firefox on my Dell laptop with Windows 7, I cannot disconnect my touchpad and just use my mouse.After you unplug the external device, the touchpad will work again.

In the same window, you can check the box for Disable when external USB pointing device plug in, which will disable the touchpad pad as soon as you connect an external pointing device. When my thumb touches the touch pad, the mouse moves and the type goes where the cursor happens to stop.I have been to the control panel and turned the touchpad off (disabled) but the pad is still active.
