What I do is to just turn off the cursor tracking, since in my opinion, it does more harm then good at times, and just hit numpad-2 for say character every time I move. For example, right-arrow, numpad-2, right-arrow, numpad-2, and so on. I know it may sound combersum, but I got used to it after a while. I hear tell that cursor tracking has been improved in cvs speakup, but I'm still using 1.5 here, so someone else will have to comment on that.
