while I move my finger on the touch-pad, the screen text often reduces in size. How can I avoid that?

Quite regularly, as I move my finger across the touch-pad in order to move the cursor (usually, I think, as I move it "up" the screen), the text/screen reduces as if I had hit ctrl/- to reduce text size. I don't know what I'm doing to cause it. Any ideas?

Further info: Probably not a mozilla issue, per the extended discussion at the link below about touchpad problems, an asus/synaptic issue in the eyes of those far more geek-proficient than I. http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/520448-touchpad-lag-freeze-buggy-jumping-debugging.html
