I thought I'd fixed it but gah, still happening so now let me see if anyone else has some ideas or has had the same thing happening.
A couple of weeks ago I started having an issue that I thought was related to pasting via Ctrl+v between tabs or text boxes in Chrome. The tab I would paste into seemed to lock up. I couldn't click anywhere, couldn't scroll, type, nothing. But I was able to click to a different open tab then click back to the one I was working in and resume. In this case I was moving emails to a Google Doc from Gmail to the open GDoc in the browser. It was annoying but I wasn't overly concerned.
I started seeing it if I was working on other sites soon enough. Copying and pasting with right clicks of my mouse did not show this issue, just to clarify. Only ctrl+c or ctrl+v seemed to be the issue. For example, pasting a URL into an [img] tag in a post caused the same problem. Soon enough I realised it was more specifically the Ctrl key. If I tried searching a page by hitting Ctrl+f I would have to click into a different open tab then back again to be able to search.
I have a handful of extensions running but none were new to me and my Chrome besides one. So I removed it. Still had the issue. I searched online and based on one suggestion for glitchy (not specifically my problem) Chrome, I reset my setting back to default and restarted the browser. Still happening. I ran scans (virus, malware and ccleaner). I cleared history and everything. Still happened. Removed ALL extensions. Still... I tested other programs. They were fine. So I bit the bullet and uninstalled Chrome and removed anything I could find from the computer before restarting and then reinstalling. Sovled! It was happening. Even after I put all of my extensions back, all good. That was last week.
I had 5 or 6 days free of this issue until I had it start up again last night.
It seems to be specifically related to hitting the Ctrl button and specifically related to Chrome.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
