I've noticed that this faulty behavior especially with the arrow keys
sometimes seems to be related to delays between keystrokes -- I type fast.

For example, when I:

Outlook 2007: "Failed to determine if the store is in the crawl scope"

I don't know. I didn't install windows search until a month or two after I
installed Outlook, and then I thought I disabled it because it kept taking
over my machine.

Outlook 2007: Ctrl+Backspace spits out squares rather than deletes words

I'd suggest that you close Outlook, and rename your NormalEmail.dotm file.
Outlook will create a new one when you reopen it and that might take care

Thanks for the advice....

now that I should have reported it as a bug because it seems to have been
rolled out in the RTM release.
