You don't need to touch it. It can happen accidentally. Even a slight
touch to the touchpad will mess with mouse pointer.
See if there is any preference in System -> Preferences -> Mouse to
'Disable touchpad while using keyboard'. If this preference is not
available then install package gpointing-device-settings and it will
give you appropriate preference.
