Cursor jump to other location while typing on Ubuntu

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 for my Dell Vostro 1400 laptop, and faced a very annoying problem where the cursor jump to other location – probably to the location of mouse arrow – while I am typing.

How do I solve this problem?

What I do is, I disable the “Enable mouse click with touchpad” in the “Mouse Preferences” dialog box.

Disable mouse click with touchpad

Disable mouse clicks with touchpad

To bring up the “Mouse Preferences” dialog, click on System > Preferences > Mouse.
