My cursor will skip to a different line while I am typing

I can be in the middle of typing a sentence and my cursor will skip to a
different part of the page and continue typing.

Are you using a laptop?

Yes. Does that have any bearing on it? It is a recent development and very
frustrating.

Yes. You must be brushing against the touchpad. Some are quite sensitive.
I've also heard where sometimes the microphone being on can affect it. I
assume it would have something to do with picking up noise and
misnterpretting that as movement (?).
