Arrow keys not working in Edge Browser

Why is it that lately I am no longer able to navigate a web page with the UP and DOWN arrow keys on the Edge browser? Even if I use the scroll bar, the page does not move up and down; instead the cursor merely moves from word to word.

I have re-installed the browser but to no avail

Previously, everything worked fine and it is only lately that it is so. Can someone please assist in rectifying the issue?

    Try pressing F7. This toggles the 'caret browsing' state On and Off; you may have got used to the one and accidentally switched to the other.
