Illustrator CS2 Shift-Scale Not Working, HELP!

[Idelsy]

Chrome

Yup - Google chrome seems to be what caused the trouble for me too

Illustrator CS5.1
OS 10.7.3

Nothing running except illustrator... trashed prefs, no luck,
Didn't have any of the other apps mentioned above...

Did notice an adobe flash update that had popped up... ignored it

Nothing worked... and as I was writing this I closed a few menu bar items, and well it fixed it (closed a calendar, drive mounting , a battery monitor, and mobile mouse)... weird how that happens.. thought I'd share since i tried everything listed above with no luck.

Wish I could pinpoint it more, but like everyone else, so far this problem has no rhyme or reason and we have seen quite a few 'fixes' here.

Happened again...

This time i did the same as before but checked illustrator after each process to be closed...

this time the culprit was google chrome.. now for us to find the complete culprit did anyone with no extensions on chrome have this happen or perhaps is it an extension perhaps..

Im currently running the following:
Adblock Plus
Adblock+ Element Hiding Helper
Craigslist Preview
Eye Dropper
Skype Links
TinEye
Ultimate YouTube Downloader
Unshorten.it
WOT
YouTube Downloader

So Anyone else having same issue using these extensions or perhaps none at all?
