      I recently got Windows 7 on my work computer and am running ID CS5. The weirdest problem happens when I try to save or export a file. The save dialog box comes up and normally, I would be able to select a folder I want to navigate to just by clicking in the dialogue box and then typing the folder name. The problem I am having is that the first letter I type goes to a folder like it should, but upon typing the second letter, it starts changing the name of my file. It's almost like I hit tab and it jumps to a new field, but once it is in the file name field, it just keeps typing there.

      So for example, I am saving a file called ABC.indd and I go to navigate to save it in a folder called Project XYZ. When I type in “P” to get to that folder name, it jumps right to the first folder starting with P. However, upon typing “r” it jumps to the file name field and the file name changes from ABC.indd to “r.indd.” If I kept typing, it would become “roject XYZ.indd.

      This happens when saving as a file or if I am exporting a PDF. Our entire marketing department of 6 people was recently upgraded from XP to 7 and we all have this problem in ID. This does not happen in Illustrator or Photoshop and it has our IT department baffled. It is driving us crazy though because we make dozens of files a day and now have to manually scroll through long file structures when exporting PDFs, which is so time consuming, not to mention aggravating.

      It's not just me suffering from this then!! I'm on Vista and fairly recently install CS5, it's not the biggest problem in the world but as you say, when you're used to the ease and speed of it, it is aggravating!
