Reeeeally Stupid IE6/Windows 98 question

So, every once in a while, my computer decides that hitting the TAB key should switch me from window to window, rather than input field to input field. I can't figure out why it does this or how to convince my stupid machine not to do it. It usually goes away somehow but at this point I'm been putting up with it for a couple of days and my frustration level is starting to peak. Anybody know what this is about?

It just did it again as I tabbed to the Summary field.

Are you sure it's just IE doing this? It sounds like your Alt key may be sticking or there's crap in your keyboard causing a problem. Or you could try checking your Windows "accessibility" options are off (assuming you don't need them).

I had this problem a while ago and it turned out to be a sticking Alt key. Try borrowing another keyboard from somebody and seeing whether the problem goes away.
