safari keeps typing double letters

I'm using Safari for Windows (5.1.1) and it keeps typing double letters in web forms, etc. - although it does stop when I reboot the browser. Any help will be much appreciated.

Solution Found:


The culprit was Keyscrambler, an anti-keylogging prog made by QFX Software.


When Keyscrambler was active, the double-letter thing happened when typing into any Safari form fields. Disabling Keyscrambler solved the problem.


I discovered this accidentally by going to XP's Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Keyboards, and looking at the driver details for my Logitec USB keyboard. The Keyscrambler driver was listed there so I thought there might be a connection. And there was.


I see a number of Safari double-letter complaints on the web and your particular reason for this fault may be different to mine. I've notified QFX about the fault.
