Cursor jumping to previous/unknown location after using intellisense

My work just installed Resharper Ultimate (2016.3.2) for use with our Visual Studio 2015 (using Windows 10).

I'm loving the new features except for this one problem that is making it really frustrating. I've looked around on stackexchange and the forums here, but have not been able to find anything similar to what is happening. I have not been able to successfully narrow down what is exactly causing it, or established repeatability, but ocassionally, when accepting the intellisense suggestion listed in the pop-up window, my cursor doesn't move to the end of the inserted line/object/bracket but instead seems to jump to the cursors previous location as if I had used the "navigate back" shortcut, and so when I continue typing, I am suddenly inserting code into the wrong place. Other times, the cursor simply dissapears yet retains focus on the tab I was working on, even keeping the line I was on highlighted. In this case, I can move up and down with the arrow keys and the highlight moves accordingly, I can even insert new lines with enter and remove them with backspace, but I can't type anything or do anything else with they keyboard. 

At first I thought the issue was that the navigate back shortcut was somehow being fired, so I changed the shortcut key binding, but that didn't stop it. I have also thought it was dependent on the keystroke I used to accept the intellisense suggestion, but the behavior occurs regardless of using enter, space, or tab. None of my coworkers have experienced this problem, and so I'm wondering if anyone else has any clue what might be going on or have any suggestions of what to try. Again, this only occurs maybe one time out of 20 uses of the intellisense or inserting open brackets->enter. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Update on the issue.

So, after changing a variety of settings and still having the issue, I realized the problem might be my mouse, of all things. I use a Logitech G700 mouse with thumb buttons that are used for navigation. I switched to a a regular HP generic mouse (no extra buttons) and had no issues with the cursor jumping around for the whole day.I switched back to my G700 and a short itme after, the issue resumed. I'm not sure what exactly could be causeing it, but I hope I can figure it out now I know it is something with my mouse.
