ctrl+C (or X or V) problem: intermittently acts like ctrl+end
Hi,

When I use the CTRL + C (also occurs with CTRL+V and I think with CTRL+X) shortcut for copying/pasting, in ANY appplication or web field, even folder windows, the selection is indeed copied/pasted, but the cursor immediately jumps to the end of the document/page/other in exactly the same fashion as when the CTRL+[end] shortcut is used. This problem occurs intermittently. For example, sometimes it will simply work once or a few times; sometimes it will work if the right-click-copy/paste method is used prior. So it's rather strange and hard to reproduce on the spot.

I have had this problem for some time now but have resigned myself to tolerance rather than solution, and have to use the right-click-copy or paste option. I am a data analyst and use many different analysis programs like spreadsheets, etc, and also MATLAB for programming scripts for efficient data handling. So as you can imagine, I like to use the CTRL+C/V functions often while manipulating data - without having to find my place again!!. So this is a pain.

I have tried the following already:
- anti-virus: Windows Defender; avast! (uninstalled now); Webroot
- anti-spyware: Webroot Spysweeper; Spyhunter; Spy-bot
(the above used regularly)
- Registry Mechanic
- Disk Cleanup
- Safe-mode: it still does it in safe mode.

Has this happened to anyone else in the universe? Can anyone help with this cruel joke of a problem?! Ha.

Cheers.
