Does it only happen in EQ? What if you have notepad open or your browser? Check for stuck keys like SHIFT, TAB, CTRL, Space... some of these are part of macros which would cause the cursor to jump around in conjunction with other key presses.

Try disabling your laptop keyboard/mouse and using an external. This will rule out bad hardware. Overheating would not cause those specific issues.
It's also not an EQ bug, afaik. You may also have to do a bit of detective work. When it happens, is anything eating up CPU time in the task manager? Does the HD activity light go nuts? You could possibly also try running EQ with admin access, since I believe that makes it so that other programs cannot interfere with the input unless they also are elevated to admin. | ||

I have not noticed any other issues on my computer while this is happening, but I am planning on playing tonight and as soon as it starts happening I will minimize and look at the task manager and report back here. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Is this only happening on one character? I.E does a different character "fix" the issue ?
Also, are you running windowed or full screen ? You said minimizing can sometiems "fix" the issue. Does running full screen (Alt+Enter) help at all ? | ||

but the issue with the freakout doesnt happen directly after the full screen status change. you think it could be related? | |||

Sometimes UI glitches can be traced back to corrupted character .ini files as well. Which is why I brought up the character itself. I'm glad fullscreen seems to help you at least. As to why I just don't know technomagically why that would "fix" it. | |||

Hey CMDR, I am having the exact same issue, only on my newer PC.
It seems as if the keyboard is wigging out and inputting a whole bunch of random letters, symbols, and numbers. It seems I am able to type, but for most keys a random letter/number/symbol is generated. One notable exception is "ENTER" always seems to open and closing the typing box as normal. If I tab out my keyboard types normally in anything else. Like here, renaming icons, searching windows. Works everywhere else. Seems to occur within 5 minutes of logging on and always passes within about 5 minutes. At this moment I am wondering if it was some scheduled scan or update running in the background. and Trying to sort it out. CMDR if you're still around and figured anything out, I would greatly appreciate what you did. | ||

Iirc eq takes input direct from the input, not from what windows thinks the input is saying ... maybe windows can just do better at filtering out ghost touches?
