It started a couple of days ago. Whenever I press the left shift key it not only does what a shift key should do and produce a capital letter, but it also produces this character immediately before the capitalized letter: "±". I then have to delete this character and continue. If I didn't my document would read something like this:

±Hey there. ±How are you±? ±Damn this sucks. ±Oh, and did ±I mention that if you hold down the shift key the character just repeats ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±.

It doesn't seem to matter what program I'm using. It just keeps on happening. I've restarted, repaired permissions, cleared the caches and prebound, all with no effect. This did actually happen to me once before, but I can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it.

I'm gonna try installing the 10.3.8 update, but somehow I don't think that will work.

Anyone else come across this? It's very strange, and very annoying!

I have had that happen before. I popped it off and blew some dirt out and it fixed it.

That fixed it! Thanks so much.
