  Cheers folks!
  
  This is not a QAP problem, bug, feature or whatever.
  
  But, I am kind of stumped here.
  As mentioned elsewhere I have several PCs with QAP, but on ONE of them (of course my admin laptop) I have this strange "bug" that is driving me nuts....
  
  Problem:
  QAP kind of looses focus so using the keyboard don't work, the only way to use anything in the QAP menu is by using the mouse.
  
  Example:
  Let's say that I am surfing on the web, the browser is maximized and fill the screen.
  I need to use something in QAP, hit my trusty CTRL double tap, the QAP menu pops up.
  
  But if I use the keyboard arrow keys to try move around in the menu, the web page in the background scrolls up and down.
  QAP does not respond even if it is the window in front.
  Using the mouse and clicking on the menues in QAP works as normal.
  
  This is on ONE PC, I have no clue what causes this.
  Any tip, advise or black magic is very much welcome.
  
  And, again, this is not a QAP error, it is something fu%#& with my QAP.....

  Joe,
  
  I'm sure you've thought about this. can you share anything that is unique to this machine?

  Thanks Scott, but that is kind of my problem.
  
  It isn't unique. It is an older Lenovo from their enterprise line, the T460.
  A lot of the crapware that manufacturers include was removed a long time ago.
  It runs Windows 10 20H2 x64
  
  So apart from Office, some management tools and QAP there isn't much installed.
  This problem is fairly recent, three-four months.
  
  I've tried QAP upgrading, downgrading, and beta, nope, won't play.
  
  Who knows, maybe it is possessed!

  @Horst:
  No, not that I am aware of.
  
  I have pretty much the same software running in the background on several machines, this laptop is the only that behaves like this.
  Could it be something with the keyboard driver / software from Lenovo?
  If I get the time, maybe I'll do a clean (re-)install of Windows on this sucker.
  
  Anyway, thanks for the input.
