Problem with characters showing up twice
I own an Inspiron 5000e running Windows 2000 SP4 and I have experienced a very annoying keyboard issue for the last few days:
My keyboard map is a french one and I have therefore access to characters such as the circumflex (^), umlaut (¨) and others...
Recently, and without remembering having installed any new software that could justify that problem, every time I select the circumflex key, it returns the character twice instead of waiting for the next keystroke which should bring the character to accentuate accordingly.
I encounter the same behaviour with umlaut (¨), tilde (~) and back-quote (`).
I tried to change the keyboard driver as well as my locale, so far with no success at all.
Anybody has had the same problem? Any advice or hint to share? Any idea on how to fix it?
Cheers,
Oli.
