Pressing The Space Key While Searching Causes The Cursor To Jump To The Main page

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,

Sorry for the long subject line but this is a new one on me.

I have Yahoo as my start page in IE6. When I click on the Search button
(magnifying glass) in IE's tool bar the search pane appears left screen as
it should. I type the first word I am looking for and press the space bar so
I can type the second. As soon as the space bar is pressed the cursor jumps
from the search pane window to Yahoo's "Search the Web" input area. This is
frustrating as I have to click back on the search pane area to continue.

I have tried different pages like Google, msn, and the like. This only
happens when Yahoo is the page in view.

I do not use any type of Yahoo toolbars or anyone else's for that
matter. I am running MS Antispyware and AVG antivirus. Both say I an clean.

Is there a fix for this?
TIA
Jim
