I haven't seen this thread before, so forgive me if this has been
mentioned. On several occasions when some program has acted very
strangely in response to a seemingly unrelated keystroke, I've found
that there was a problem (like a sticky key) with the keyboard. So you
may think you are typing W5A, but in reality you may be typing Alt W5A,
or Ctrl W5A, or some other bizarre combination. If you have a spare
keyboard, try swapping it for the one you are using. If you don't have
a spare, try blowing out the keyboard with a can of air and "gently
tapping" the frame to dislodge any furch or stuck keys.
