If you're changing the selection with the arrow keys, maybe one of the control
keys/shift keys is stuck.

(I don't have any more guesses, though.)

Thanks - I have tried both of these, and also checked that scroll lock is not
on, unfortunately this hasn't fixed the problem

Do you see EXT in the statusbar at the bottom right?

If you do, try hitting F8 to toggle it off.

If that isn't it, maybe your mouse has a stuck button. Gently bang the buttons
(including the wheelmouse button if you have one) to see if that fixes the
problem.

I think there is a keyboard shortcut to fix it but I'm not sure what it is!
Any help much appreciated.

Thx
