Why does Framemaker lose the Ctrl key?

Lately FM12 has started losing Ctrl key and only quitting and restarting FM cures it. Other apps remain normal with respect to keystrokes. I've changed the keyboard batteries but have no other ideas.

    What command are not working as expected?

    Many times the control key requires that proper window be in focus. For example, Ctrl+M won't bring up the Paragraph Designer unless the document window is in focus. If (for example) your cursor is in another pod, the Ctrl+M will seem to be not functioning.

    Is it happening after working in FM for a while? I'd use the bug tracker to log the issue with Adobe if applying the latest FM12 patches doesn't fix anything.
