keyboard shortcuts and windows 7...

Is anybody else experiencing problems with specific keyboard shortcuts in Windows 7? For example, when i click keyboard shortcuts 1,2,3 etc. for portions or E,R,T for actions, the UI swaps to Windows desktop. Same thing when i am trying to type in chat field or when using TAB key for map. Some shortcuts work ok though...

Apparently not. Restaring Windows fixed the problem. Although i am still wondering what might have caused this...

This happened to me once as well, but a quick restart fixed the problem for me.
Have the problem even as it happens I do not know

after reboot is working fine

Windows7 64bit
BlackKeysus - 73 Witch ( Legacy )
BlackHammer - 56 Marauder ( Legacy )

CtrlAltDelete - 15 ( HC) R.I.P xD

So its not an isolated incident. Maybe the devs should take a look at it then. I will try to retrive more data in case it happens again.

It's not limited to windows 7 either, I get this in windows xp.

It seems to be some kind of sticky key modifier - if I accidently fat-finger the windows key when I go to press Alt, nothing happens (ie start menu doesn't open, this is good). However, the next time I use my E or R skill (win+E and win+R both corresponding to windows shortcuts), I get an explorer window or run dialog opening up and PoE loses focus. Haven't died to it yet, thankfully ;)

The problem doesn't persist once I alt-tab back to PoE, either it's just for that one keypress, or its possible that I always press the windows button again once I'm back in PoE and that clears the state.
