Sometimes is a simple as brushing against the 'mouse/track pad'.. Disabling the pad especially if using an external mouse would help. 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...

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-touchpad-not-working-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?

I got a irritating problem. When typing my cursor jumps for no reason at all to another place in the text sometimes. This is making a mess of what i am typing. I thought it was a problem wih=th previous laptop but the new one has the same. It doesnt do it all the time. Anyone any idea were to look for an answer to the problem?
