VS2010 Bug >>>>> "Ctrl Button acts like it is always pressed"

[killabyte]

does anyone else get this bug? i get it when i am debugging and then return to code, try to highlight a block of bugs(code) and continue on. from then on the ctrl key acts like it is on forever. sometimes it stops if you mash ctrl repeatedly or do a key cmd that includes ctrl, otherwise you have to restart IDE. please tell me i am not alone in this one?

That's probably because of your keyboard, or keyboard driver. Because if this, VS is seeing Ctrl is DOWN. Just hit Ctrl, Alt, Shift several times and keys state of all these will come to normal.

Disable all your extentions. I have a dodgy one that screws up my mouse cursor and sometime cannot even type.

Quit slobbering on the keyboard when you code?

How can you honestly believe this would be a bug in Visual Studio. Clean your keyboard. Try a different keyboard. If you still have the problem, then it is an add-in or extension. If you still have the problem, it is user error.

I had the same in SQL Server and with the F5 key... I hit it and my query just kept repeating itself! Turned out my F5 key got stuck... :laugh:

thought i had that issue once, turned out to be a piece of flapjack wedged in the keyboard ... debated eating the bit of flapjack...
