Although I have skipped this CM7000 upgrade, the mismatch in the behavior
suggests that the "focus window" was different in the two situations, i.e. the
last window he clicked mouse in was some other window than where you clicked
last (before pressing the arrow keys). Since the keyboard messages are always
sent (by Windows system) to the current "focus window," the arrow keys may not
be recognized the same way in different windows.
