Re: Mouse is multiselecting

Whenever I point to something in Word, Internet Explorer, Excel or whatever, it selects several paragraphs, sometimes 3 or 4 of them or in Excel, clicking in a cell will select 5 or 6 adjacent cells. Sometimes in IE 7, selecting a word will select the whole page. I've tried switching mice and keyboards to no avail, so there is some setting, apparently I've triggered.

How can I stop this and what causes it? It just started last night.

If you wanted to duplicate that action, you'd click at the beginning of a string, then Shift-click the current location. That suggests one of the Shift keys is sticking. HTH,
