Your problem, which is completely unrelated to the subject of this thread, is almost certainly caused by your inadvertently brushing over the mouse pad below the keys on the keyboard.  Either try reducing it sensitivity, or if it can be switched off, switch it off and use an external mouse.   If you cannot switch it off or reduce its sensitivity, place a sheet of paper over it.
Hope this helps,
