Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with this odd problem I've been having with my Caps Lock key.
Right now it is working fine because I'm tying in an online form, but if I'm trying to type in Microsoft Word or edit the name of a folder for example it will act very odd.
When I am editing the name of a folder and press the caps lock key it will make the computer deselect the folder I am editing so I then have to select it again and click 'rename folder' to continue editing the title of the folder. This problem doesn't happen when pressing the caps lock key to DEACTIVATE caps lock - only when enabling it.
Also, if I have multiple copies of Microsoft Word open then pressing caps lock to enable caps lock (once again, this doesn't happen when pressing the caps lock key a second time to disable caps lock) will switch between which copy of Word I have open and I will find myself typing in the wrong document.
At first I thought that maybe the caps lock key was for some reason performing the functions of both the caps lock AND 'Tab' key, but I've since tried pressing 'tab' in the same scenarios to try and achieve the same effect without success.
Does anyone have any clue what might be going on?!
P.S This is a problem with my laptop keyboard - I can't replace the keyboard in other words.
