Shift+down key not selecting

[abhithakur88]

Hi All,

I am new to Ubuntu. When I open the nautilus and press shift+down key i cannot select icons. Similarly, if i open some text editor (gedit) if i press shift+down key, i cannot select text. Shift+up left and right keys are normal. Only shift+down key is having problem.

Thanks in advance

Sorry I have to ask the obvious question, but are you sure the down key is working? Open a nautilus window or text editor with a text file. Does the down key work by itself?

Do you run compiz fusion? If so I would check your keyboard shortcuts to make sure one is not Shift + Down Arrow. I had a similar problem once caused by a shortcut key.

Thanks.. I found one keyboard shortcut key in compiz.
