Windows 7 Getting dropdown boxes randomly when typing

[lakeguy]

I keep getting dropdown boxes saying undo,redo,cutetc plus others that say back, forward, reload,print, translate,favorites etc. When typing a sentence a box drops down characters get moved back in the sentence or other locations. This renders any typing unless.
Thanks

It seems like you are experiencing issues with unwanted dropdown boxes interfering with your typing. This could be due to various reasons such as browser extensions, software conflicts, or accessibility settings. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Check Browser Extensions: - Disable or remove any browser extensions that you don't recognize or don't use frequently. Extensions can sometimes cause unexpected behavior on websites. 2. Update Browser: - Ensure that your browser is up to date. Outdated browsers can sometimes lead to unusual behavior. 3. Check Accessibility Settings: - Some accessibility features or settings on your computer might be causing the dropdown boxes. Check your accessibility settings and disable any features that you don't need. 4. Keyboard Shortcuts: - Make sure you are not inadvertently triggering keyboard shortcuts that are causing these dropdown boxes. Accidental key combinations can lead to unexpected behavior. 5. Clear Browser Cache: - Clear your browser cache and cookies to eliminate any temporary files that might be causing conflicts. 6. Check Other Applications: - Ensure that there are no other applications running in the background that could be interfering with your typing experience. 7. Restart Your Computer: - Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve many software-related issues. If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide more details such as the browser you are using, any recent changes you have made to your system, or any specific websites where this issue occurs. This information can help in providing more targeted solutions.
