Thanks for this note Stephen.  Good to hear some feedback that the bug is
actually getting attention.
I am going through a couple weeks of intense script editing.  For whatever
reason, I can only go for 15-20 minutes before the shortcut-bug gets me, and
I have to remember to use the contolkey workaround.  This used to be a rare
occurrence.

I would really like to know if there is a workaround by editing one/or more
of the rev IDE stacks because it would be at the top of my to-do list. Not
only is it counter-productive, but you have to wonder what else is going
wrong that you cannot see.

Side note:  No other program I work with has shortcuts that fail, even when
Rev is missing the beat.  The only real cure is to quit and relaunch...
since this is important software I am writing, I suppose I should quit when
it first occurs rather than trust the IDE.

To emphasize: I have *not* seen any problems with my apps but have seen
weird changes occur in the revErrors stack and the variable watcher stack.
This should be a warning to me that it could also occur in one of my stacks.
For now, frequent relaunching of Rev.

Optimistically looking forward to a fixed version.  Unfortunately I don't
have any free hours in my day for the next month or two to do any beta test
work.
