    shortcut issues

    Cheryl McGregor Community Member

      I have been working the tutorials in the Classroom in a Book.  When the instructions tell me to double click on a layer name and rename it, weird things start happening.  Normally when you double click, the box changes but the words stay highlighted and you just type your new name and you are done.  This isn't happening.  I double click and the box changes but I have to backspace the letters out.  When I start to type in the new name PS will let me type the first letter and then all hell breaks loose.  Instead of typing the rest of the letters - either nothing happens or shortcuts start popping up.  For example, I just had to rename a layer Pattern.  P went in fine, A did nothing that I noticed and T brought up the Text tool.  I hadn't accidentally tabbed or anything - my cursor was still in the box where I was trying to type the word Pattern.  This has happened several times, and I have to literally click before typing in the next letter of the word.  What is going on??
