>Sometimes I am getting similar experiences - whole Windows starts behaving as if ctrl or shift were pressed. Last time it was some accessibility thing (I pressed right shift for more than 7 seconds while thinking of something, the dialog came up, I clicked cancel, but it still behaved as if I kept shift down - had to press shift again for a few seconds). So... may be worth checking the accessibility options, and whether it behaves so outside of VFP or not.

There are also some rare occasions where it's also a "hidden feature" in the firmware". Years ago I'd run into a situation where the control, shift, and ALT keys either got "sticky" (i.e. act as if they would latch down), or the keyboard layout seem to get scrambled. It turned out that particular models of Gateway brand computers have a keyboard that could be programmed change behavior if a specific sequence/cobination of ALT, SHIFT and CTRL keys were used.
