[SOLVED] in firefox, ctrl + shift + left or right arrow --> doesn't select, changes t
When I do this keyboard command in Firefox...ctrl + shift + left or right arrow
... my intention is to select/highlight text, by the word, like you would in any other application.
This used to work just fine for me, but now it doesn't. Instead, when I do this, I end up going one Tab to the left or right. It doesn't happen absolutely all the time, which is weird, but it does happen most of the time. And when it happens, it is so very annoying, and I have to select text one letter at a time, or else use my cursor... drives me crazy!!
Has anyone else encountered this? And does anyone have any suggestions?
(I have FF 3.04)
Thank you!!
EDIT: It is possible that this only happens to me when I'm in Yahoo! email and I'm typing an email and try to select words in my email. I really feel like it happens in other situations too, but I can't think of another example (if it happens to me while I'm doing stuff today/tomorrow at another site, I'll be sure to come update my post). In any case, it definitely doesn't happen when I'm using Yahoo! email on a computer with Windows, and it didn't happen to me on my laptop until I switched to Ubuntu.
