    Ok, this is a really random question, but (this just started happening today) how do you get the text you type backwards to forwards again ?? Every time I’m online (this only happens online when using websites like the forums here, Youtube, etc.) every time I try and type something, the text comes out the other way (right to left, instead of left to right) and the mouse cursor blinks really fast (for example, I would type "well" and it would come out "llew"). How do I get the text to wright the correct way ? Did I press a button on my T61 that I didn’t know existed that can just change the way text comes out ?? Any help would be great, this is really annoying, I’m typing this on Microsoft Word right now lol

    Edit : Ok, Mod's you can move this post to whatever the appropriate forum it goes under. For some reason, the problem fixed itself. I have no idea what I did, it just fixed itself. Anyone have this problem before ?? Again, this only happened to me once, for about 8 minutes, and only when I was typing online. In other applications, (Word, Excel, etc.) it's fine. Did I accidentally press something that switches the text around ?? Sorry for the dumb question, I just never had that happen before, and began to freak out lol
