Hi, remember me?
Got it all fixed. Remember, I was having the problem on a 4 month
old HP Probook laptop with Windows 7. The goofy highlighting problem
was due to a Windows setting in the control panel, in the ease of access
settings, then in my keyboard settings. The random insertion
Not sure; it's just a possibility to rule out. One possible explanation
is that the seemingly stuck key doesn't have any effect in other
applications you use. In Gnucash, Shift+Arrow keys or Shift+Click just
moves the selection - the same as just pressing the arrow keys or
clicking without
To rule out the keyboard possibility, perhaps try a different keyboard,
plugged directly into the PC (no USB hubs or other cables in between).
I've previously found that a faulty keyboard (or USB cable or hub
between keyboard and PC) can act as if keys get stuck down (seems like
the PC
Hi Mark,
That gives me something else to try - plugging in another keyboard. This
notebook computer is still under warranty and now would be the time to
find out. But what still puzzles me, is why only Calc? Why doesn't it
affect any other program? I extensively use Gnucash also. One

It would be about the amount memory assigned in Calc (Menu: Tools-
Options - Memory)

Hi :)
Perhaps try renaming your User Profile? Sudden change in behavior or weird
wonkiness might be down to something going wonky in the User Profile;

Renaming the profile means you can still get back to it if it doesn't fix
things so it's a good
Thank you. Come to think of it, I can switch the touch-pad off. When
cells were highlighted, I did alternately keep pressing the shift keys,
That cleared that up. This notepad does have a spill resistant keyboard
where there is a mylar film under the keys.

I played with that also. Thank you.

I do use LO on my desktop. However, I do not use it as extensively. My
son also has it on his laptop, but does not use it very extensively.

Hi :)
A Reply to all goes to the whole mailing list and can cover multiple

I'm glad to hear that playing with the keys did the trick! Fantastic
answer!
I'm not on the GnuCash mailing list. Well, i might have posted once or
twice several years ago but i doubt that is remembered! Still
Thanks Tom,
Actually, I deleted the user profile a few times and started over
from scratch. BTW, are you the same that's on the Gnucash usergroup
emails now and then?

Woops, I meant to click the spell-check and not the send. That all
explains well for the unexplained highlighting, but what about the
random ;6 (semi-colon and the number six) at times, or the random :
(colon) at times, replacing cell contents by just pressing a directional
arrow key. That,
Hi Tom:)
I was so sure you were on the Gnucash site, oh well. I don't know
anymore weird things are still going on. My elaborate spreadsheet is
complete. I'll just have to wait to do another fancy spreadsheet.
However, I DID vacuum, with brush, my keyboard.

Hi :)
I think the comment about sacking your tech support was meant as a joke. I
think we kinda assume people who reach this mailing-list probably ARE the
tech support. I'm sure everyone makes amusing blunders at times. Easier
to laugh about it after recovery!
Wrt keyboards i can never figure
Hi,
I haven't been on this users group for over two years, primarily
because everything worked great, until now. I have an inconsistent and
not often issue with Calc. Well, it's more annoying than anything else,
because I can easily correct it, but it shouldn't be. Calc does weird
