Incorrect reaction to pressing the Shift button

When I type my reply, and then press Shift to start a new sentence, my cursor jumps to the beginning of the line.

Testing whether it is still happening here. This sentence was typed immediately after the preceding one. The fault seems to be intermittent as it is not happening now.

Yes. The problem is intermittent. And I can't understand what it depends on.

I have had the same problem for what seems like years. I reported it so long ago I no longer remember where or when, but nothing has happened to improve the situation. It seems to kick in after any change which required cursor position to be moved manually, which is a common thing. It makes the feature unusable for anything that one might want to change or correct before saving.

@Perohanych, The first thing to do is to check for a gadget at the English Wikipedia called "GoogleTrans" and turn that off. If that's not enough (or if you haven't ever used that), then try testing it in safemode.
