That's a thought. I used QuickKeys, but none of its shortcuts are set to command-]. If they were, that shortcut would trigger every time I did a mouse-wheel-down, so the problem would be instantly obvious. It's the 'only very rarely' incidence that's stumped me.

I used to use this setup, but at present I've just using the standard current-model wired keyboard.

My cats do that for me ;-)

Well I could, but like all transient (and this is very transient) faults, they're a bummer to pin down.

What I do know is that it only occurs in FrameMaker.

Thanks for thinking about this.
