[Framers] FrameMaker keyboard shortcuts just stop

[Ken Poshedly]

Many, many thanks Rick!
If an update or bug-fix is released, it will hopefully apply downward to at least FM10 (which I run at home) and FM11 (which I run at my office) because I know for sure that my company will NEVER update to a newer version because it costs money. (Plus, I myself prefer to have all my stuff -- program and data files -- right on my own hard drive.)

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.»
