Your report is not clear to me what you are describing. Can you please describe the problem as detailed as possible, and also give full step by step instructions on how to reproduce the problem? Also please include an attachment of your XFree86 log file using the link below. Thanks.
Can't reproduce the problem you describe. The closest thing I can think of is when you are entering data in a form on a web page while using the mozilla web browser, and the cursor moves around in an odd fashion. If that is the problem you are describing, this is a mozilla bug, not an XFree86 bug, and it is specific to Mozilla, not staroffice or anything else. Any other programs that embed mozilla would also show this. It is due to the crappy editor built into mozilla, and is a known bug reported many many times to mozilla.org, and open in their bugzilla bug tracker. Anyways, I'm closing this as I dont believe the problem is X related.
