Combo box auto expand problem

[pemigh]

In a prior posting (too old to reply directly), Jim Devenish described
exactly what my client has seen, both in terms of AutoExpand behaving
oddly and the way that caps lock relates to the situation. The problem
is hard to nail down because 1) the combo box misbehaves only for
certain combo box entries and 2) it won't necessarily misbehave when
it's copied to another machine.

I'm attempting to get Microsoft to acknowledge the problem on the
Knowledge Base. No luck yet.

P.S. I'll add the words STRANGE and WEIRD here in hopes that it will
help people looking for this post. And I'll add WIERD because I've
noticed that a whole bunch of people who post to this group apparently
operate under the mistaken notion that I-before-E applies to this word.

---------- Jim's original post ----------------------------
I have a combo box with Auto Expand and Limit to List both set to
'yes'.

When I type 'C' I correctly get:
C J Valeting
When I type 'CO' I get:
Cogent Seating Ltd
again correct
BUT when I go on to type 'COM', looking for 'Commercial Motors', I get

(incorrectly)
CoMgent Seating Ltd
Auto expand ceases to work and the keyboard appears to go into insert
mode.
The mystery is even worse in that this only occurs when Caps Lock is on

but not when it is off. Even worse, it only happens on one particular
computer - not on others.
There must be some setting on this computer which is causing this - any

suggestions as to what it could be?

Could it be a matter of speed? Typing COM quickly or slowly may make a
difference.
