Re: A basic cursor problem

What do you mean "Cursor"? The mouse pointer or the character cursor?

If the mouse pointer, then there is something called "mouse avoidance mode"
which keeps the mouse pointer from obscuring the cursor. Whenever the mouse
pointer would be over the character cursor WHILE YOU ARE TYPING, the mouse
pointer magically moves 5 or so characters away (according to one of
several rules).

Look for:

(if window-system (mouse-avoidance-mode 'jump))

You can comment it out:

;; (if window-system (mouse-avoidance-mode 'jump))

Or, you can change behavior:

Effects of the different modes:
 * banish: Move the mouse to the upper-right corner on any keypress.
 * exile: Move the mouse to the corner only if the cursor gets too close,
     and allow it to return once the cursor is out of the way.
 * jump: If the cursor gets too close to the mouse, displace the mouse
     a random distance & direction.
 * animate: As `jump', but shows steps along the way for illusion of
motion.
 * cat-and-mouse: Same as `animate'.
 * proteus: As `animate', but changes the shape of the mouse pointer too.

Good evening to all,

I use xemacs to type my university reports using miktex, and while
typing the source code, the cursor is always moving upwards or downwards
for more that one line, it's 4 or 5 actually. This is annoying, and as I
was told that xemacs is fully customizable, I wonder if a good soul
could tell me how to fix this problem. I do not think it is a major
problem, but rather a question of a beginner.

Thanks.

Jined.
