User(s) can reproduce this bug

This happens when I Ctrl-X code and an error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Editing or deleting an active statement which is not at the top of the callstack will prevent the debug session from continuing while Edit and Continue is enabled.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

appears. It sometimes (not always) makes Visual Studio think Ctrl is still being held, and key combos like Shift-F5 are recognized as Ctrl-Shift-F5 which leads to unexpected actions.

This also happens when commenting code with Ctrl-K, Ctrl-C which leads to the above error popup.

Details (expand)

.NET Framework 4.5

Create a C# XNA project,
create a method that calls another method,
while debugging, break inside inner method,
try commenting or cutting call to inner method in the outter method,
error window will appear,
press ok,
VS thinks you're holding Ctrl.

Windows 7

Visual Studio thinks Ctrl key is being held.

Visual Studio should not remember keys pressed before showing error message.

This only affects VS, other applications don't think the key is being held down.

Hello,

Does this happen just on VS or system-wide(ie impacts notepad or other applications)?

Thanks,
