[X4U] Capital Letter Problem

[Tom Miller]

Three times this year I have had Macs with the following problem. I
always have had the latest version of the OS.

Suddenly, when I use the Shift key, I can't get one capital letter unless
I use the Caps Lock key. First, on my QS DP 800, I had the problem with
the B. I created a new user and no problem. Whatever application I was
in, Shift b brought up GraphicConverter, but no Keyboard Shortcut had
been created for this. Start from a different HD and no problem. I erased
the HD and sold the computer. 

Next, my AlBook 12 did the same thing with the Shift k. I don't remember
what application application came up when I did a Shift k, but if I
wanted a capital k, I had to use the Caps Lock key. I had a cloned
version of the HD so cloning it back solved the problem.

Today, my G5 iMac started doing the same thing with Shift c. No matter
what application, Shift c brought CopyPaste to the front. Again, the Caps
Lock key is what I had to use if I wanted a capital C. I had a cloned
version of this HD and I cloned it back so all is okay now.

What could be causing this? I posted messages on Apple Discussions and
the most reasonable response was that older versions of CopyPaste or
Synergy could be the problem. I don't have Synergy and have always had
the latest version of CopyPaste. I posted a message at CopyPaste about
this today.

If there's a preference for Keyboard Shortcuts, maybe trashing that would
help, but I don't see one.
