acroread cursor in document

I read a lot of documents using acroread in "reading mode".  (How many times
can I get the word "read" in one sentence...)

Most of the time, I can use cursor-right (or space) and cursor-left to move
back and forth through my document, page by page.  Quite infrequently, though,
for reasons I've not yet figured out, I somehow get a cursor in my document and
cursor-right and cursor-left just move that cursor right and left through the
text on the page instead of moving me to the next/previous page as usual.

I haven't figured out either what causes that cursor to appear, or how to get
rid of it once it does.  The only way I have found to get things back to normal
is to close and re-open my document.

These are mostly PDF's that I create myself from OpenOffice or with CUPS-PDF.

What's going on and how can I make it stop?
