My pages stopped scrolling with cursor keys after upgrading to 5.0, the cursor moves WITHIN html documents and "jumps" from frame to frame and character to character within the frame.

Recently, I noticed that google search pages stopped scrolling. There is an "right arrow" at the beginning of each link. When I press the cursor "up/down" arrow on the keyboard, the cursor jumps from link to link. Also, while on any html webpage, the cursor moves one character at a time (left / right arrow) and one line at a time (up/down arrow) until the end of that frame is reached, it then jumps to the next frame.

You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

I have already checked these settings and they are correct. This morning, all webpages skip from top to bottom when the up/down arrow keys are pressed. On my tablet, the same thing happens, but it isn't a problem because I have a rocker scroll button on the mousepad, my laptop doesn't. If I connect a wheel mouse the wheel scrolls correctly. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
