I was looking at the keyboard shortcut list because i wanted to find the short cut to zoom in and out on a clip. In the list I used (zoom in on current tracks audio waveform CTRL+ALT+up arrow) and  (zoom out on current tracks audio waveform CTRL+ALT+down arrow)
When I pressed the CTRL ALT down arrow the track view flipped up side down. I pressed CTRL ALT down arrow again and the console view flipped up side down.
I have a two monitor setup. In a pannic I pressed the CTRL ALT up arrow until both screens flipped right side up. Something has to be wrong big time. I don't see a need to flip the view up sude down. I would post a pic but i fear I might not get it back right side up again.
I'm curious if this will happn to others. If need be i'll post a pic.

I just tried this again and everything was upside down. I took a screen shot but the screen shot was normal so I'm thinking it's a pc key shortcut of some sort to flip the monitor picture and is not really flipping Sonar.

Your running some sort of utility app that allows you to flip the screen.  May be part of your video driver install or perhaps something that came bundled with your computer.  It's intercepting the key commands and doing the screen flip.  You should be able to figure you what is doing it and change it or turn it off.
 
(My stock Windows 7 doesn't do this, I checked)

For me CTL+ALT+up Down arrows change the scale of the clip in the track view but it doesn't change zoom.  I've setup a macro on my Steel series mouse that binds commands to the two side buttons so I can zoom in and out on a clip.  They work by sending CTL+Left Arrow and CTL+Right Arrow five times really fast.  This was one of the handy tips in the old Groove3 Mixing With Sonar videos, though he did it using AutoHotKey.  By using my mouse's extra buttons and its macro software works better for me.

I accidentally triggered this editing a PowerPoint presentation the other day (Win10) on an HP laptop. I cannot recall the exact keys, but that key pattern was intercepted at a global (Windows) level. Bear in mind that such a conflict cannot bypass the global interception, so that would need to be tracked down - unfortunately, I do not know whether Win10 or the HP bloatware grabbed it.

If you have an Intel HD Graphics adapter, this is the default behaviour.  You can disable (or remap) the hotkeys through the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel (most likely appears in your system tray) under "Options and Support".

I do have the Intel HD adapter and there is an option to disable hot keys.
