Intermittent bug:  during message composition I have a tendency to press
CTRL-Home and CTRL-End frequently to go to the top and bottom of the message. 
It appears that missing the CTRL-Home and instead hitting CTRL-Delete shuts off
the navigation keys for the Compose session.  I am using an HP Pavilion zv6000
with Windows XP Professional.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See description in details above.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Navigation keys stopped functioning.  Had to use mouse to move the cursor.

Expected Results:  
Continued to function as designed with navigation keys working: up, down, right,
left, PgUp, Pgdown.

I don't see this problem.
