What browser are you using? Probably some setting in it that needs changed.

jimindigo...

Maybe you accidently have turned on your sticky keys in Windows. Take a look here to see how to turn them off in the various versions of Windows:

I have had this happen. This could also be a browser setting as previously mentioned...

In Firefox, if you tap Ctrl and F, the Find box pops up. Are you hitting the ctrl key perhaps when you want to hit the shift key? I only mention that because I sometimes do this.
