Ctrl + Shift gives an annoying alignment

[Guest d99alu@efd.lth.se]

Hi!

 

When editing text in almost any MS editors (Notepad, Word, address bar

of IE, ...), the key combination Ctrl+Shift changes the alignment of

the text and adjust the text for languages writing from right to left.

(Arrow keys work in opposite direction, Delete deletes the character

to the left of the marker, typing types to the left etc.)

 

This is very annoying, I use Ctrl Shift often with other keys for

marking entire words etc, and when changing your mind, missing a key

etc the text flips like this.

 

(This is not the key combination for switching between different input

languages/keyboards, that feature i have already turned off.)

 

Is there a way to disable this behaviour? I experience this in both

Win2000, XP and Vista..

 

Best Regards,

You must have installed some right-to-left language. You could

uninstall it or else have another look at your keyboard shortcuts

for changing the language and the keyboard. Note that these

are two separate settings!

For Input locales I have Swedish and Enlish (neither left-to-right

writing...)

In Regional Options most languages are checked in the General tab

("Language settings for the system, Your system is configured to read

and write documents in multiple languages")

Hot keys for input locales are all dissabled (stating "(None)" for key

sequence)

 

Am I the only one experience this??? I don't think that I did any

special configurations.

Ctrl+ Right Shift = right to left writing (arabic style)

Ctrl + Left Shift = left to right writing (western style)
