I believe it's a bug as we've experienced similar flakey behaviors here such as the timeline failing to respond after a while. Restarting the application helps, but is only a remedy.
I think these issues were finally cleared up in 2014.

I tried almost all of those things. BUT, a complete system reboot has now fixed it! Whew. -------------- Have you checked the selection mode "extended component selection" and "Si style selection"? I believe those are the names but will check in the office Jb Sent from my iPhone On 3/27/2014 11:31 PM, Jason S wrote: I remember something like that, it was some program having global hotkeys (cant remember which) that was interfeiring. You can try ending all other programs just to see, and if both Ctrl & Shift also work elsewhere. And maybe temporarily renaming your SI profile folder something else (resetting personal settings) to see if it has anything to do with plugins or settings. good luck!
