Strange Key Control Issue

[Sam Beard]

Lester,

   No, I don't have any third-party plug-ins running at all. There are
some I think we should probably get, but that's not an option at the
moment. I'll check on updating to the latest 7.2 release, as well. 

Thanks much for the response!

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.
