It's possible that this is not a software bug and has nothing to do 
with LibreOffice. Are you perhaps using a system - probably a 
notebook - with a touch-sensitive trackpad? if so, it is quite 
possible that you are touching the trackpad with part of your hand - 
perhaps your thumb - or dragging it over the trackpad whilst you are 
typing. These actions will respectively move the cursor position or 
select a region of text, producing exactly the effects you describe. 
The fact that it occurs with different software versions provides 
extra evidence for this diagnosis. You notice it in LibreOffice 
because that is the application you mostly use.


You will probably find it difficult to believe that you are doing 
this, but I can assure you that I have watched people doing exactly 
this! Since you are concentrating on typing, you will not be aware of 
exactly what your thumb is doing. Get someone to watch you typing in 
order to be convinced. If this is your problem, you will find that 
you can adjust the sensitivity of the trackpad; this setting will be 
in your operating system (in Control Panel? under Mouse?), not in 
LibreOffice. If you reduce the sensitivity sufficiently, you should 
find this problem goes away.


I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Same bug in Fresh and Still

[Paul D. Mirowsky]

Also look out for keyboard keys that stick.

Detach keyboard and carefully vacuum with 'dusting brush' attachment, 
trying to find a 'key' in a half full vacuum cleaner bag is not fun.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How close Template mgr, where templates stored?

[Graham Luffrum]

Dave

Under both LO 5.0.2.2 and 4.4.4.3 on my system (32 bit Linux Mint 17.2)
there is a close button on the top right-hand side of the Template Manager
window as well as a drop-down menu on the top left-hand side, which
includes "Close".

I was about to say the same thing .


As i suffer from the self same problem it is the track pad on this
laptop that causes my problem, I now use a piece of cardboard to cover
the track pad most of the time  .

Problem fixed ..



Pete .




On my HP laptop running Mint 17.2 I have a setting under "Mouse and 
TouchPad" called "Disable touchpad while typing". If you have it on your 
OS you may be able to get rid of your piece of cardboard.
