highlight problem

[chvol]

Hello,

There is a constant problem with documents in MS Word and in Notepad. Suddenly it becomes highlighted, and nothing will turn it off. There seems to be an "anchor" to the highlight and everything between that anchor and the cursor is highlighted. Clicking anywhere doesn't turn it off like a normal highlight does. Usually I manage to turn it off by randomly typing in printable characters in the document, and eventually it turns off.

How do I fix this?

most of the time I see this type of issue, a key is stuck. After you have been typing and this happens, try hitting your shift keys a few times and then arrow over to see if it goes away. If it is the issue, then just replace the keyboard.
