Hi I have a problem with the behavior of the Home, End, PgUp, PgDn and the arrow keys. After I upgraded to version 6 they do not work as expected. I have disabled every extension and the behavior is still the same...

They work as expected in IE8.

I hope someone have a solution.

Chosen solution

Make sure NumLk is not engaged, as the Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys are often superimposed on the numeric keypad. There should be keyboard light for NumLk.

Press F7 to turn caret browsing on or off, you want it off. Test after changing.
