Windows 10: Windows is automatically resizing font when I click on "ctrl"

Hello,


I have a very annoying problem with Windows 10. Today, with no prior updates I believe, browsers only I believe auto zoom text whenever I click on "ctrl". The default behavior is it should zoom in or out only when I click on "ctrl & -/+".


I tried different web browsers, all the same,

I tried to update drivers, it didn't work,

I tried changing the keyboard, same,


On other tools, at least on notepad, notepad++, vscode, ... there is no problem.


Also text history in inputs in any webpage, seem to show and hide quickly, so I cannot click on saved text inputs.


very very deranging.


I hope someone would have a solution to this.


note: I am not sure what's the appropriate topic for this, as I don't no what's the source of the problem at all


Thanks a lot !

:)
