Have you tried using a different keyboard? If it is a laptop get hold of a
usb keyboard and try that.
Also there are some programs that can reassign keys. Do the arrow keys work
normally in other situations such as scrolling through text?
I am thinking that there are several interfaces between the keys and the
object - one in the keyboard itself, one between the keyboard plug and the
BIOS, one between the BIOS and Windows and one between windows and the
program. Any of these could be hijacked or corrupted.
Another thing is, have you tried restarting the computer? Some people leave
the computer on all the time while others always switch off at night. If
yours is on all the time it may just be a transient glich which will go away
if it is restarted.

I just tried that. If I push Ctrl-UP-Arrow, the figure still moves
down. Any arrow key I push the flowchart symbol move down. There
almost has to be some kind of setting somewhere I am failing to set.
Thanks.
