Most common are browsers that do that. But if the machine is new, why not exchange it?
Hello, I've been having problems with my tab key for a few weeks now. I've look all over the internet, and spent hours searching for an answer with no avail. The problem is the tab key is no longer responding and switching between text fields. Combinations like alt-tab still work so I know it isn't a hardware issue, and I've tried messing with sticky keys and trying alt+0+0+9 as others have suggested but nothing works. I'm just wondering if anybody knows of any setting to check or anything at all that might be able to help solve my problem, thank you in advance for any help.
