Strange Key Control Issue

[Lester C. Smalley]

Do you have any 3rd party plug-ins running, like Microtype's TimeSavers,
etc?  Have you tried running without those enabled to see if this could
be a by-product of those utilities?  (note: I am NOT picking on the
TimeSavers as the culprit but it is simply the first plug-in I thought
of.)

Perhaps you should update to the latest 7.2 release - 7.2P158.  That is
the version I have and I do not recall ever having this problem with the
control or arrow keys ceasing to function as I expect.
