Welcome deagondave,
For which software is this a problem? If this is a progeCAD problem, we will move it to the progeCAD discussion...
As to the problem itself, sounds very much like a unique system problem of some sort - are you using a PC keyboard or running the problem on some kind of tablet? Are you accessing the software via remote connection (not supported)?
Please describe your system configuration.
