Hi all, I'm having a weird bug. The "P" and "B" keys act funny when doing text entry in several areas, but not all the time.

For example when sending a text message, the P key enters an "H" and then acts as if i pressed the "Send" function of the left softkey. The B key enters "bteib" and then acts as if i pressed the "Menu" function of the right softkey.

When making an appointment both keys do the same thing with that applications' uses of the soft keys.

When using google maps they do the same thing with that applications use of the soft keys.

Does my description make sense? Anybody have any idea of what could be causing this? Its a strange problem because it only affects those two keys. I can eliminate water damage from the potential list of causes. I'd like to avoid a master reset if possible so please don't suggest that. I'm willing to do that, but only if nobody has any other ideas.

Thanks for any potential advice.
