strange Mac OS problem i can't figure out
#1
OK, this is definitely account related on my MacBook Pro.
10.4.11

In multiple applications, I see a blue highlight around some buttons, not the pulsing blue of the default, but around other choices.

Example: Press the power button and the 4 button panel pops up: "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down." Shut down is default/pulsing blue. Restart has a blue outline, which will move to the next button if I tap the TAB key.

Example 2: In Firefox 2.0.0.x, tabbing takes me to every link on the page, instead of just to the major fields.

In another user account, this behavior is not observed.

I've checked the System Prefs under Keyboard/Mouse, Universal Access, and others, and I can't find the setting. It happens in other apps, too, so it's not application-specific.

Any ideas what to look at next? I have 600 items in my ~/Library/Prefs folder, so I don't want to do the half/sort method to narrow it down. I have tried Googling a solution, too.

If I need to post screen shots, I will.
