LT cursor movement not smooth

The LT cursor no longer moves smoothly across the screen, it appears to jump and stutter and makes selection of entities and drafting quite difficult.

Tap the F9 key on your keyboard once and see if that helps: you may have turned on SNAP, explained in Help in LT if you don't know what that is.

Clean your mouse, especially if it's the older roller-ball type (or roller-ball trackball): and clean the roller guides too, build-up can also exhibit such behavior.

Replace the mouse and/or uninstall the mouse driver and let Windows run it to see if the problem goes away. ◦
