This is a slight issue I just noticed. Whenever I press the up arrow key normally, it goes straight up to the top of a webpage (or in Explorer, to the first file), but when I press Ctrl+Up Arrow Key, it acts normally. Is my arrow key stuck, or am I having some odd issue that can be fixed easily? Any help is appreciated.

At different times (including recently) one of my machines has been going back to the previous web page when I press my "backspace" key when correcting a typing error.

Instead of the line of typed text going back one space, the webpage goes back to the previous one I was on.

Annoying. ROYALLY so.

What would these results mean? Been told here I must be a "half pint".

This is one of the most annoying features ever implemented.
