Forward and Backspace button does not work

  • Unknown's avatar

    For over a year now, I have had the same problem on both the old and the new site. When I have typed one or two paragraphs, my back space or forward space button will cause the cursor to jump down to the very end of the page. Not to the end of the document, but to the end of the entire site! This has made it so that I have hardly blogged at all, because it makes it ten thousand times tiresome to do so. To have to scroll up and find your place again over and over again. I tend to write long posts so this happens tons of times during the creation of a post. And I do not understand what is causing it. I thought it was my old ipad just acting up and giving up the ghost somehow. But we invested in a new ipad, so that I could get back to blogging and lo and behold. The first time I start typing, it does exactly the same thing. Before you ask if it is a keyboard problem, I might as well say that I can type documents anywhere else with it. It is ONLY in wordpress where this happens. How can I solve this problem or do I have to find another blogging platform? Or is this a way for WordPress to get us bloggers to pay for our blog? I don’t know what to think anymore???? I just do not feel like blogging anymore, since it takes too much effort to get the typing right.

    hi,

    The symptoms you describe sounds like you have Sticky Keys switched on.

    Here are some articles on Sticky Keys and arrow combination key functions:

    Can you disable Sticky keys the next time you post ?
