Hi,

I am finding when I try to rename a file in windows 7, i typically select the file i want to rename, hit F2 (rename) and type the new name.

I've been getting this weird bug which the while file name gets selected again, sometimes right in the middle of me typing. I can sit there and watch it reselect the entire filename every second or so as if someone is invisibly hitting control+a while type. I have tried making sure that my keys aren't being pressed, and also have even gotten a new keyboard and this problem still consists.

I know it'll probably be a long shot, but just hoping someone's seen this issue and has a resolution.

UPDATE: This is on a desktop machine, not a laptop, so there's no issue with Trackpad.
