Every time I click the Post New Topic link and start typing, the "Submit New Thread" button lights up before I'm done and the thread gets posted with a few letters in it. Okay, not every time. This post right here is the first time in weeks I can remember posting a new thread without it auto-submitting. Anyway, usually it happens, and I don't think I have my fingers anywhere near the control key when it does.

Anyone know what's going on?

P.S. FWIW, I realize that yes, Ctrl is pretty close to Shift, but it happens almost every time I start a new thread, and pretty much never when I'm editing or replying.

This happens to me on occasion.

It's the following sequence of keystrokes: tab, then space. Tab moves focus from the text entry box to the Submit button, and then space activates it.

Seems to be cured, since I have not run into this at all. It's easy to test, the 12-digit password to my Swiss bank account is U7X44
