Root Keyboard Malfunctions

[wynn55]

There are times when I'll be typing on the hardware keyboard and then the phone thinks I'm doing keyboard shortcuts and every keystroke opens something different. Fixable or just a Velocity problem?

EDIT:

The problem goes away if I reboot the phone but always shows up again later on.

I've had this problem since 2.1, on every rom i flashed, it's a hardware glitch in the phone...not a rom problem.

No need to reboot. There's a simple fix to this. The keyboard shortcuts are normally activated when you press the Search key with a corresponding letter. So if you're typing something and shortcuts start activating, obviously the phone thinks the Search button is being held down when it's really not. All I do is press the Search button 3 or 4 times so the phone can realize that I'm not pressing it, and then return to typing.

Ive had this happen many times with different roms and the only thing I know that will make it stop is to go under settings>applications>quick launch and clear all the shortcuts...

Ah yeah I forgot about that, that's the more permanent solution to the problem.
