Arrrgh! Unfortunaly I've managed to find the most irritating thing about XP. Sometimes when I'm writing something, for example in the adress-field in Explorer or in Notepad, or when I change a file name, the text decides to go from (err, can't find the english word for it) starting at the left side and going right, to starting on the right side! I suspect it has something to do with presing the Ctrl-key, but I haven't been able to find out how to get it back the way it was without having to close the window/file and open it again... Any advice?

Well, it's not easy to explain... :P

Like this; I'm writing text in Notepad:

I_______________________________I
I_Hello, my name is Arvid__________I
I_______________________________I
I_______________________________I
I_______________________________I

And then after (I think) pressing a bit on the Ctrl and arrow-keys, to move the marker around in the text, it suddenly turns into this:

I_______________________________I
I__________Hello, my name is Arvid_I
I_______________________________I
I_______________________________I
I_______________________________I

And sometimes the keys change too at the same time, so if I press on the left arrow key, the marker moves to the right... :-?
