- I have a similiar problem with my mouse and it's an official atari one,
- what usually happens is that the cursor will be quite happily sitting
- in the centre of the screen and then will suddenly decide that the top
- of the screen is more interesting and move up there. It's very
- odd and I really can't see any reason for it.
-
- Anyone out there know why this happens? I can't see why strong signals
- would cause a problem really. Is is a fault with the keyboard chip?
