For me, this such a PITA. And it happened again this morning. This has been going on forever. (Well, you know what I mean.)

Ken, I have filed a bug FRMAKER-2325 stating that frequently all CTRL+xx shortcuts do
not work any more. On my system (W7 XP1, x64) this 'feature' exists since about
FM-11. I hoped it would go away with a fresh Windows installation on a new laptop -
but it did not. So it definetely must be something with FrameMaker.
I have even discovered that the following actions can trigger the fault:
- switch to another application (e.g. text editor) and back to FM
- switch to Pincackle Studio (a video editor) and back reproduceably creates the
fault.
I have just added to that bug report:
«It seems that not only CTRL-xxx shortcuts are affected, but all Windows specific
short cuts (not the ESC sequences). See the lengthy lamento on
http://www.mail-archive.com/framers@lists.frameusers.com/msg66590.html and following
posts.»
