Hi,

I have something strange happing for a while now and cannot find a fix; or even identify what is causing it.
This doe not happing all the time, like I was able to type this issue here. However, out of no where it will occur, and then stop at other times; or maybe it will happen and then start working again.
I can be in any program where I have to type and it will go to the begging of the line and will only let me type there. I will try to move it to where I was and it will just go to the beginning again.
Issue 2 but I feel it is related:


It will in addition to/ and with the above issue, I can be down in the middle of a page and it will go to the top and stay there. I have found that while the mouse may not let me scroll, the arrow keys sometimes will.
These things can happen in note pad, Excel, word, note pad, in web sites, or in email.
I made sure my antivirus is up to date and ran it, but it came up with nothing.
Any ideas would be appreciate it.

Thank you

Do you have an external keyboard you can test with?
