Yup, that sounds like a Windows thing -- it should work that way in all 
applications.  (Have you tried it in other apps?)  Have you rebooted? 
It's also possible you've accidentally turned on an Accessibility option 
-- sticky keys or filter keys or something.  They all have weird 
keyboard combos that toggle them on/off.  Rebooting should fix that, too.

HTH,
