I'm not sure if I have a virus or a sloppy Key board. When I type a "b" it forces the cursur to the begining of the typed text. A "g" sometimes goes to the beginning of the sentance. It does not matter on the active utility -- issue comes and goes. Sometimes Since it is specific to the "b" and "g" keys - I'm not sure if it's mechanical or malware.. Anyone see this?
