Hey all, I was wondering if those of you will newer HP laptops (around 2008ish) could open up a few tabs in Firefox or IE and try the Control+Shift+Tab key combination (to move backwards one tab).
I've found that on my dv2940se laptop it will move one tab then scroll a random number of tabs and land, usually, on some tab I didn't want. I'm trying to get HP to do something for me, but of course their default response is to restore to factory settings. I really don't want to have to go through that process to get them to RMA my laptop. Since I've set it up to dual boot and it does this in both Vista and XP, I really feel the factory restore won't do any good.
In addition, I've tested this key combo out on a laptop of the same model on display at the store and found it had the exact same issue. I'm wondering if there is a design flaw in the particular keyboard used in my model (and possibly others).
So if you'd be willing to test it out and post your results, it'd help me out! (Don't forget to post what model of laptop you have.)
Thanks!

Works fine on my dv2700SE and older dv2000.
Its probably just a keyboard repeat rate setting. Does it happen for both Vista and XP?
Possible HP Keyboard Defect?
