    Weird keyboard behavior PS CS3

    Toon61 Community Member

      Hi all,

       

      Every now and then it seems like my keyboard has gone nuts.

      This always happens inside PS CS3. After doing some actions, especially when doing a 'Shift-Alt-Arrow key' action (duplicating a layer or group and moving), it looks as if the keyboard goes in some sort of 'Alt-Always-On' modus.

      The annoying thing about this is, that regular keyboard-shortcuts for selecting a tool don't work (pressing 't' for the type tool does nothing) but far worse is the fact when you want to move a layer or group of layers they get unwantedly duplicated.

      Sometimes this behavior seems to disappear, when I click around my desktop (outside of Photoshop), but sometimes it doesn't disappear. The only thing left to get rid of it is to quit and relaunch PS.

       

      Does anyone else have this problem, and how can it be solved.

       

      This weird keyboard thing does only appear in PS, every other application is not affected by it.

       

      I'm running PS CS3 on Windows XP SP3

      I have all updates of PS CS3 installed
