I'm so glad you posted back. I've wondered about you and your mysterious
problem. You've solved it, Sherlock. I don't know if the problem is a
function of having two wireless keyboards of the same brand or there is
something wrong with your particular device. Maybe one of you could try
a different brand wireless keyboard and see if that takes care of the
problem.

Thank you so much for coming back with the answer.

Good luck,

Malke
