Has anyone else experienced this weird one? (Does anyone know what its
cause is?)

Same happen when you move the keyboard to a different computer?


Laptop.


You've probably answered this already, but does the same thing happen


I have, but no matter ...

when you use a different keyboard *in addition to* the laptop keyboard?


.... yes, it does. Well, the more major fault anyway - the apparent
sticking of shift, control, or other such keys; not sure about the loss
of ).

I think you talked about the built-in On-Screen Keyboard earlier, but I
don't remember. A second external keyboard might be a better test.


I did, and the faults - when they've been triggered - appear even on
there too [I _think_ even including the no-) fault]. _Sometimes_, when I
unminimise the OSK, it comes up with its control keys shaded (and
clicking them on it frees things), but usually not. I keep the OSK
minimised because sometimes I _can_ clear the fault(s) using it, and
once the fault _has_ triggered, attempting to _start_ the OSK has no
effect.

Apologies if you've already been there and done that.

No problem.
