Public bug reported:
The ctrl key has lost its normal behavior, thus all the keybindings are
not working properly anymore, and this is a real pain in the *** when
one has to do some work done.
The keybindings using ctrl+regular key are not working at all anymore,
just there is a change in the cursor when hitting them, which indicates
that the ctrl key is still mapped correctly, but has lost its normal
behavior.
The kybindings using more that the ctrl key (besides "regular keys) like
ctrl+alt+normal key are working in a strange way since I have to hit
first alt, then ctrl to get them working.
I am really desperate for help, been keeping asking on the irc forums,
google searching and forum searching for more that two days now, and
still no answer.
Also the problem is limited to my user account, when I create a new
account the problem is not here.
About xev, here is the corresponding output when hitting ctrl :
