Author Topic: [space] = [return] sometimes? Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-21-2002 04:08 PM                        Anybody know why when I log onto some BBs or Google and I type the first word, then hit <space> it thinks I've hit the <return> key? This drives me nuts. I have to watch my fingers while I type and I'll look up and see that everything I've been typing is in cyberspace somewhere, but not on the screen. What's the deal with that? ------------------ Greg Mueller Amateur Astronomer, Machinist, Filmnut http://www.muellersatomics.com/  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-21-2002 06:06 PM                     In Windows, you can "click" a button with a spacebar if it has a dotted line around it. Same with checking a check box. Sounds to me like somehow that button got highlighted, so when you pressed the spacebar it was clicked.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-21-2002 06:20 PM                        On my machine, the spacebar is the same as the page down key when not in a text-entering mode. This is an IE thing, yes?  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-21-2002 06:50 PM                        Netscape It happens every time I go to Google ------------------ Greg Mueller Amateur Astronomer, Machinist, Filmnut http://www.muellersatomics.com/  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-21-2002 06:58 PM                        Wha? I think you should just throw your computer away and purchase the most expensive computer available at the moment. If that doesn't solve your problem just keep repeating until it does. Actually I've never seen this problem, in Mac or Windows 2000 (can't talk about other Windows OS's since I refuse to use anything but 2000), in Netscape, IE, or Opera. I think someone has been tinkering with your computer maybe?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-21-2002 07:31 PM                     I've seen it too, but have no idea why that happens. I'm just going to wait for Scott to answer. Scott knows. Scott knows everything.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Brad's just saying that because I haven't done some stuff that I've promised him would be done over a month ago. Suggested workaround: don't use the spacebar.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-21-2002 10:26 PM                     SEE! I told you Scott would have the solution.  |  IP: Logged
