Moving the cursor in word or notepad highlights text

I am running Terminal Services on a Windows 2000 server, and connecting to it from a Windows XP machine.
When connected, if I move the cursor using the left or right arrow key, the software behaves as if I keep shift pressed, and selects the text instead of moving the cursor
This behavior occurs in tsclient 5.00 build 2195, as well as the 5.1 build 2600 that comes with xp
This might have something to do with one of the MS security updates, but I cant find info about this.
Thanks for any pointers.
 
Okay, I just found out this is an issue with the ATI display drivers on the client machine.
The workaround (in my case) was to bring up the window task manager and stop the atiptaxx.exe process.
