In browser, text documents, writer, in everything were you can enter text. Happens completely at random, sometimes notting and other times i am more busy correcting the text due to the jumping cursor then anything else.
Oh well that's annoying indeed...While googling on touch/trackpad issues on Linux, I found that several ones have been reported on this matter under Ubuntu 18.04 which is the one LL 4.2 is based upon. I found this article
https://sangams.com.np/fix-ubuntu-18-4-t...-properly/ and I don't know if it will help you resolving your issue but it might worth trying.
Hope this helps!

I did read the article and the packages are installed. What i did do was check the box to disable touchpad while typing, that was not enbaled before.

Did that solve your issue?

Too early to say, but so far so good. Only thing is that you cant dusable it longer then 4 seconds during typing.
Can anyone help this is still a question

Some laptops (hp's) have in upper left corner a light that if double tapped in this corner will illuminate, informing the pad has been disabled.
In the mouse settings I believe there is an option.. something like "disable when usb connected"...
Might be the easy spot to start...
Something else I have done, is in setting you can disable the keypad for X seconds while typing, this way if it is caused by slightly brushing against the touchpad, the cursor is unaffected.
Moving the cursor is delayed for X seconds... I set mine for 2 seconds...
Might be worth a try to see if its operator vs. operating system
