Ron,
yes, I checked that. The jumping around occurred whether the window
was selected or not. And the jumps were quite often extreme, bearing
no relation that I could determine from where the cursor started nor
from where the cursor was intended to end up. I'm sorry, though
comforted, to hear that Jenny has had some of these issues, also.
I've worked with it just a little today. There is a jump when a line
is selected, but only a burp of a jump, with the cursor then ending
up on the intended line. I've never noticed this before, but it
could have been happening without penetrating my awareness.
Yesterday, closing the files, closing the program, rebooting the
system, changing the mice, nothing seemed to help. On booting up
today, so far so good. Hope it stays that way.

I believe it happens because you have to put the screen you wish to
use in focus before you start to make changes, ie. the first click
just puts it in focus or specifies that this is the sceen you wish to use.
This is a feature of Windows.
