this might sound a bit simple, but you are probably getting too close to your touchpad when you are typing and this is causing the mouse to move. Fortunately this is easy to resolve. You should have some type of touchpad software installed (i.e. Synaptics, etc...), these programs allow you to shut off the touchpad when not in use.
Hope the issue is fixed .If not kindly go through below steps .
If there is cursor jumping issues on the computer we need to first check if the same happens in safe mode (restart the computer and hit F8 on dell logo and select safe mode).
Try using command prompt and check if the same happens.
If the issue still happens in above scenario kindly install below driver:
