Sorry - no time for a long email right now. I can reproduce on Windows XP Pro x64 too, but again, only with the right sided ALT key. (I don't have nearly enough time to start digging into regional & keyboard settings) Also, I haven't tried Windows 7 yet.
Pivot does consider the CONTROL key to be pressed once it receives focus following the cancellation of the Windows dialog raised by CTRL+ALT+DEL. That is why you see this behaviour on multi select TableViews and ListViews. The next keypress that Pivot receives (regardless of which Pivot Component receives it) will reset the internal keyboard modifier states, which is the equivalent of releasing the CONTROL key. The important thing is that I can also replicate it on very simple Swing & AWT apps, so this is *NOT* just a Pivot issue. I have an idea for a workaround/fix, but no time to try it out just now. In the mean time, perhaps try searching the web to see if you can find any reports of similar issues. Please let us know if you do find any.
