Ctrl key "sticks"
I haven't figured out what triggers it, but sometimes (often after waking from hibernation??) my Ctrl key "sticks." The physical key isn't stuck, but the software thinks it is. I can't type non-Ctrl keys or do almost anything.
I used to see this occasionally with my previous (Vista) laptop. When that happened, I could often clear it up by hitting the Windows key, or Shift, or some other locking key. That doesn't seem to work with Win7. If it gets into this state, I have to reboot to clear it.
What causes this, and how can I prevent it?
