Silly but irritating

[stephan54]

Have a T60 and are generally satisfied, but sometimes strange things happen:
Open via IE and my startsite www.google.de come up, I then type in another site I want to visit (online database in which I want to enter information). Now as soon as I hit the shift-key the screen returns to the startsite. I guessed I had involuntarily pushed some keys that caused this behaviour. After pushing on the lefthand side on my keyboard the shift and control key together the situation turned to normal. In addition by pressing the shift key I got a message 'Einrastkey' = sticky key?

Can someone explain why the shiftkey brought up the start site?
It may be solved for the moment, but I like to understand.

PC is protected: anti-spyware, virusscanner, all the latest updates - so a virus is not the most logical cause.

Thank you for your advice - Stephan

The web page back key is just below the right shift key (at least it is on my T42). Are you sure you did not hit it by mistake? The web page navigation keys are supposed to move you back and forward through the pages you have visited.

Thanks for answering.

I am sure, since I tried several times. Everytime I hit shift the openingpage appeared.
This stopped after pressing Control and Shift together.

My wife can type very fast, so I guess she has hit a few keys together by accident, causing this silly problem.

I am happy this behaviour stopped, but curious how it came about. I thougth she had activated some function of the keys without realizing it.

Might this behavior be the Windows StickyKey function?

Thanks, I looked into that (still learning), we did not open this window, so a by fast typing and hiting a certain combination of keys, this strange behaviour may have been started.

Still interested in suggestions.
