[muglo] Strange behaviour - home and end key don't work in OS X 10.4.4 in Safari/FireFox/TextEdit/others

Hi all,

My HOME and END keys do not work in apps which (presumably) use OS
text editing services. Pressing them without modifier keys does
nothing (but, they're supposed to take you to the beginning and end of
lines).

In Safari and TextEdit they seem to be mapped to page-up/page-down

Pressing HOME/END on their own does nothing.

This is a MASSIVE irritant.

Microsoft Word fortunately hums away as expected but THAT'S IT -- all
the other apps I've tried don't!!!

Has anyone else experienced this or is this something unique to me?

I just created a new account to see if preferences could have anything
to do with it and nada... same behaviour in jtest :-(.

Eric.
