New crazy problem! Came home from work and now when I

[ratchet]

scroll down or up with the arrow keys the page flies to the very bottom or top. It happens with all sites I tried but not with IE. What happened?

Never had the problem myself, but <a href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=355439&highlight=arrow+bottom+key+scroll">it seems you're not the only one</a> to have encountered it.

Well, that is a partial work around, however, it is hard to find text that doesn't open a link. The thing is, I've had 1.5 for about a week now and had never had this problem. This is insane!

it's a toggle done with the f7 key. try hitting f7 and see if that fixes it.

take care,

I was having this problem when I used page down "pg dn" on my keyboard. I took me quite a while to find this forum post. F7 worked great. Thanks. Just wanted to make sure "page down" and "pg dn" get picked up by the search engines.

That worked for me as well! THANKS! I have a new kitten that walked across my keyboard and I couldnt figure out why all of a sudden the arrow keys wouldnt work properly!
