Arrow keys act as if "stuck" and speeds through images

Having the most annoying problem... sometimes the when arrowing through images, the touch of an arrow in one or the other direction acts as if stuck and speed through to the end of the images in the folder. Stepping back it does it again to where I can't stop on the image I want w/ out going to the grid and selecting it. This doesn't happen in any other program, so I dont think my keys are actually getting stuck.

This also happens as I scroll through images to "x" them, I find that several images after the one I x'd are also marked as if the x button is stuck.

I hope someone knows how to fix this!

Thanks!

      i use the arrow keys often when I edit documents as well as video editing, etc...

      it's both left and right arrow keys and they are clean and not sticking.

      It's not the key itself that needs to stick. There are several piece below the key head that can stick and then you have the, at least, 3 layers of contact sheets below all that.

      The only way to check is to use a different keyboard. It could also be some OS setting. IIRC there is something for handicapped. On windows I think is it called Ease of Access.

      I am having this same issue with my Lightroom CC. Is there a fix fot this?

      Also why is this thread closed and marked as resolved when there is no proper answer?

        You’ve posted to a very old thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same issue which you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information including system information, a complete description of the problem and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

         

        In the unlikely event the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

         

        Thank you!

        I have the same problem. It has nothing to do with the arrow key. It happens to me on two separate computers and it is seriously frustrating. It's also not in the Ease of Access settings.

          As a first step, reboot your computer.

          thanks, but done that many many times - it's been going on a while... sometimes it's ok, and then suddenly it wont stop doing it...

          I have LR CC.

          Try a different keyboard. If this is on a notebook then connect a USB keyboard to it.
