Description:
Today I started having a problem with LibreOffice Writer that I've not had before: pressing the CTRL key (by itself; without any other keys) causes pages to zoom out, which means I can't use any keyboard shortcuts unless I'm willing to manually zoom in after each and every CTRL+ command. 

I've tried rebooting. 

I've tried uninstalling LibreOffice 5.? and installing Version: 6.4.7.2 (x64)
Build ID: 639b8ac485750d5696d7590a72ef1b496725cfb5
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

I'm using an old PC that was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Home. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a Writer document
2.Press the CTRL key 1 or more times (each results in a further zoom out)
3.

Actual Results:
Page zoomed out to (I'm guessing) 10% of original size. 

Expected Results:
CTRL key (when used alone, with no other key) should not cause page to zoom out. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Restarted in SAFE MODE; same problem occurred.

Try a different keyboard.

Comment 2 Jackie 2020-12-01 01:14:09 UTC

Yes, I discovered after reporting the problem that the issue was indeed the keyboard. 

Thank you for your response. 

Resolved.
