    Hey all. I got the update the other night. Ever since I having the following issue when typing:

    Pressing the M key brings the cursor to the HOME position (beginning of the sentence)

    Pressing the B key brings up the brightness bar and raises the display brightness.

    I have checked to make sure all sticky keys, hotkeys, and shortcuts are off. 

    Has anyone else run into this and if so, how can I fix it? It is VERY annoying!

    Thanks!
