[QUOTE="BSD Meister, post: 1426040, member: 257388"] About the only thing that I can think of (in other words, guess at) is to check your keyboard mapping. This is done differently in the different OS versions. Things to look at would be: 1. Language & Text 2. Universal Access 3. The keyboard The way your keyboard is responding sounds almost like it thinks it's supposed to be responding to a multi-byte character set - that would make sense if it was several keys but just one key? I know in Lion the keyboard can be remapped to a completely different set (for example QWERTY for the U.S., AZERTY for France) etc. An SMC reset **might** clear it up and set everything back to their defaults, but personally I've never heard of such a problem before. It HAS to be set that way somehow otherwise it wouldn't do it on an external keyboard as well. Are there pranksters in your environment???
