[AccessD] Stuck Highlight in Access

In Windows XP Strike the LEFT (make sure it's the left) shift key 5 times 

Watch what happens

So - It may be the case that a bored user or a user waiting for something to
process may just sit there tapping keys on the keyboard

It's all part of the accessibility options :-(

I'm not sure.  On my machine at home, if I hold the shift key down for a second
or two it's turned on.

OK, but they're turned off on my machine, so what could turn them on?

Because by restarting, it's turned off.
In Windows XP, you'll find it under Control Panel -> Accessibility
Options.

I know nothing about sticky keys, but if restarting an application cures
it, how can that be the cause?

I have seen this before, even when I go from Access to other MS
products.
I traced it down to the sticky keys being activated.
I haven't a clue as to why it was activated, but I turn it off and it
goes away.

It isn't just Access.  I see this in the code window from time to time
and it plagues me in .Net too.

I have seen this as well.  I don't know of any fix other than shutting
down and re-opening.  I always decompile / compile / compact and repair
of course.

In Access sometimes my users mention that their text is being
highlighted from right to left, even tho they are not holding down the
shift key, This affects only their Access application, but does not
affect any other software running.  Any form inside the access app is
affected and it seems to go away after they shutdown and restart the
application.

I dunno if anyone here has seen this, it's not the old "the keyboard
buffer is stuck" situation.
