When I enter info in a box, say a user name or password, and then press Tab to move to the next box the \ backslash is added after the info typed in thus RENDERING it incorrect, in the case of a username for instance. How do I stop this?what OS, what application(s)?
The o/s is Windows XP. I first noticed this when I would sign in to something such as a Gmail account or my on-line banking account. It also occurs in MS Word. If you press Tab the \ is put in after the last typed letter.1) Does the same thing happen in safe mode?
2) Have you TRIED a different keyboard?I have not tried it in safe mode and it GOES AWAY if I switch keyboards. My concern is that I thought I must have inadvertently done something which caused this to happen and I wanted to reverse whatever I had done.If it doesn't happen with different keyboards I'd say the cause and solution are obvious.This...
