I have the same problem with a new Surface Pro 6 12.3-Inch Tablet - (Silver) (Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 620 with Signature Type Cover - Platinum. As an IT expert I have read, applied and tested all the suggestions in this thread with only two definite conclusions. I have an earlier Surface Pro 2 and standard cover keyboard. If I move the signature cover to the old Surface the issue moves with it. The issue does not occur when using the old type cover keyboard with the Pro 6. The problem is worse when charging (not just running off the power supply). Applying ferrite chohes and changing chargers (I have 3, all genuine) or docks stations (I have three, old and latest) makes no difference. The issue is primarily loss of focus from the mouse pointer when moving a finger around the touchpad - the mouse icon freezes and the finger has to be lifted and reapplied to get the pointer engaged again. The sensitivity of the touchpad can be so variable as to be unusable when the issue is at its worst.
I conclude that it is an issue with the signature cover itself and will ask for a replacement.
