Summary: Ctrl+key combos stop working in IDLE

Initial Comment:
After awhile using Python 2.3 IDLE in Windows, the 
control keys such as Ctrl+C (copy) and Ctrl+V (paste) 
stop having any effect.  Menu pulldowns continue to 
work.

I have yet to notice what circumstances might trigger 
this behavior.

I'm using WinXP Pro.

Given this has not previously been reported, I will do my best 
to gather data on your questions as I continue to use IDLE.  
Ideally, I will be able to duplicate it at will.  We shall see.

I haven't observed this behavior, nor heard of it before.
What version of Windows are you using? 

The keybindings are established in Tk just after IDLE
starts and are subsequently intercepted and handled
by the Tk library.

Do all the Ctrl bindings fail? Even Tk defaults like Ctrl-E,
which goes to end of line?

What about Alt bindings?

Do the Ctrl keys work in other applications after they 
stop working in IDLE?
