Problem with GUI?

[Former Member]

Hi All

I am facing a strange problem when doing a Ctrl F search on ABAP editor (SE37, SE38 etc)....no matter which key I type, it is only typing numbers and if I keep pressing the same key again and again, it types the numbers 1 through 0 in order. I am not sure is this is a setting or if it is really an issue....i tried uninstalling the SAP GUI and reinstall it, but the problem persists...anybody got a clue?

May be Function Lock or Num Lock on your keyboard.

Also check your User Profile (under System). Settings here can effect your KB.

Hi Paul

I tried toggling num lock, it didnt work. Can you tell me how I can toggle Function lock?

Hi Neo,

check what software is running on your PC. Shut down/kill all fanc addons and if this does not help you got a virus.

hi Neo,

Have you tried logging in on a different screen ?

Have you tried logging in with a different username ?

The variable that holds the find string is rstxp-tdfind.

There are notes in SAP Service Marketplace that have this variable included

They're in the component BC-DWB-TOO-ABA so it may not be gui related.

Lastly , you could debug this error by dragging the debugging desktop icon onto the popup box

Good luck

Hi All

It turned out to be a problem with my new anti virus Norton 'Constant Guard'. As soon as I uninstalled it, this problem went away. Thanks for your replies.
