Can you file a bug report in JIRA with the exact runtime and browser and OS
you're using, and if possible which key sequence causes it to get confused?
Running this app will show you what keys the kernel thinks are down. If you
find a sequence of key presses which leaves the CTRL key set, please put
that info in the bug report.
Thanks very much!
