The pressing the Shift key to make a capital letter kicks me out of gmail or reloads the current web page

I'm suddenly getting some strange behavior on my Windows 7 PC. (I can hear all you Linux users formulating witty retorts...don't do it! :-). When I'm composing an email in Gmail and press the Shift key to get caps, it kicks me out of the composition page. And nothing is saved in drafts either. Internet Explorer doesn't have this issue. The Shift key works normally. Also, If I try to paste using Ctrl+V it make the webpage text shrink. I was trying to log this issue on the computer with the problem but I couldn't login because of the caps and the paste issue.
I just discovered another quirk: If I press the Ctrl key without the +V it still shrinks the text.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion, but there's no option to uninstall a driver. It's a MS Ergonomic 4000 keyboard and it just shows up as an HID compliant device. I tried uninstalling the Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Control Center, but that didn't help either.
I've also pressed the keys numerous times (at one point it asked me if I wanted to enable 'Sticky Keys' which I didn't). Rebooted too. Even deleted the user profile, removed the PC from the domain, rejoined it to the domain, logged in as the user, and restored a previously backed up Transfer Wizard profile. And I checked while logged on as the local Admin and got the same weirdness.

  • When I type on my macbook air I get the symbols I would get if I were holding down the option and shift keys.

    I've looked at sticky keys and other stuff like this they don't seem to be the problem.  I guess it is possible that both the option and shift keys are stuck at the same time, but they don't seem to be stuck at all.
    I tried a restart and that didn't help and I hit the shift key 5 times....

    Have you been able to fix this problem? I am having the same issue with my laptop and it seems like each letter in my keyboard performs a shortcut or function rather than typing letters

    I have two last things to try. The first is a hard reset. The instructions for that are here:  Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
    If that doesn't help, the last option is to try to restore your BIOS. The instructions are here: Restoring the BIOS
    If that fails, it will most likely be a hardware issue. I am not certain of your warranty coverage, you can find that information from support, as well as your repair options.

    I am running XP SP2 fully patched. I recently upgraded to 3.6.3 and since then, clicking on an icon that normally would open another windows (for example, a printer-friendly version of the current web page), nothing happens. In these situations, I have been forced to go to IE or Crome in order to accomplish what I need to do. Very frustrating. Also clicking in the slider area has no effect. "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys work. Holding down left mouse button on slider works. Also very frustrating. Can someone help
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Upgraded to 3.6.3.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • When typing an email I need each new sentence to automaticaaly start with a capital letter. At present after a full stop the new sentence automatically starts with a lower case letternot an upper case one

    When typing an email new sentences do not automatically start with a capital letter after a full stop.
    Surely this should happen automatically without the need for me to touch the capital letter icon.

    Either you didn't actually call Apple, and got some tech support scammer instead (calling the first number that pops up on a Google search for "Apple support" can give you some bad numbers), or the Apple tech you spoke to didn't know what he's talking about. It's not a virus.
    As for the problem, if you have enabled auto-capitalization and the problem continues, first try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

  • My Ipad kicks me out everytime I tap on the mail app

    My Ipad continues to kick me out when I tap on the mail and safari app. I have powered it off several times but it does not correct the problem. Any suggestions????

    1. Double-click the Home button to see all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close App
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
    5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

  • How do I close the current web page in Safari?

    UPgraded to IOS 8 because a friend said it cured his problems, so I took the plunge.
    BIg mistake.
    THis question concerns Safari.
    how do I close the current web page?

    I just found how to do this on my iPad!  At the top right are two squares overlapping.  Click on that and you will get your page hanging in space.  There is an X on the top (I think) left.  Click on that and TaDa!  Lost of hoops, but glad I found it.

    Don't switch email providers. Switch to another email client on your Mac. It is not Yahoo. I have 3 Yahoo accounts and never have any problems getting or sending mail from/to those accounts. But I don't use the built in Mac Mail program. I use Thunderbird. I use thunderbird on both Mac OS X and Windows. Been using it for some time now with no problems getting my Yahoo mail, Google gmail mail or form my work email account.

    Hello, rohan.kishore.patel. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Battery life can be difficult to troubleshoot as multiple factors contribute to how long a charge can last.  Graphic intensive applications, display brightness and data connectivity are just a few of the items that can cause the battery life to decrease rapidly.  I would need to know a little more information about your usage patterns to give you and idea on how to maximize battery life.  However, here are some tips on how to adjust settings and charge the device that may help.

  • Press Right Shift key using Robot

    Hi,
    I'm developing a small tool in Java where i need to simulate all keys of the Keyboard using Java Robot.
    But, I could not find a way to simulate some Keys like "Right Shift" or "Right Alt" or "Right Control" etc..By default Robot simulates Left Shift.
    Is there a way in Java's Robot to Specify the location of the Key that we want to press ?
    Please post your thoughts and comments on this.
    Thanks

    Good you solved you problem -- but what "show desktop" shortcut are you talking about? The Desktop shortcut in Exposé is F11, has been for years. And how do you get the right shift key only in any shortcut?

    Does the problem happen if you reboot the system into Safe Mode by holding the Shift key at startup?
    Additionally, does the problem happen if you create a new user account in the Users & Groups system preferences and log into that?

  • How do I get Firefox to go back to scrolling one line at a time with the up/down arrow keys? I noticed this changed in Firefox 10 and I actually preferred the one line at a time, can this be an option in future releases?

    The title says it all, I'm not really sure if this is the proper place to post this as it's not a "bug" per se. I noticed on the list of bugs "fixed" in Firefox 10 scrolling more than one line with the arrow keys was one of them. I know a lot of people hated the one-line thing too so I'd suggest in future releases it should be a preference we can change.

    You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.
