It's set properly in Windows, so that's not the problem. All my other programs work properly, so it's an IE problem. Anybody got any ideas? This sucks! |

You're in Windows 7 right?? Cos I have exactlt the same layout on another laptop in Vista and it doesn't happen with that. Interesting to know if this is being seen by others and if anyone knows what the reason is - cxan we fix it?? cheers MikeL2 |

To check, click View then Zoom. If the dot marks anything other than the 100% choice, then that is your problem... correct it and all's well. With View-Text Size you can also check that you have the font size you prefer. |

It usually happens when you are trying to type + or _ which require Shift to be pressed. But Shift is right next to Ctrl and the hand can slip and mistakenly hit simultaneously Ctrl and + or Ctrl and - (zoom in/out). It is very disconcerting until you find out what happened! |
