LoadCue w/Format in Blind Spreadsheet

I just tried to replicate this on my home machine, a Win 7 Home unit, running OLE 2.1.2.

Not seeing any of these issues here.

I've played with it some more.  It's related to the keyboard.  The VK works, but the many of the keys on the keyboard are non functional.  F2 causes "LoadCue" to appear in the command line.  bksp doesn't clear it, though it will clear some other command line entries.  It's as though the keyboard has been placed in some weird state.  It happens on two machines, so it's not hardware related. 

Playing some more, it is behaving as though the control key is being held down for every keypress.

1 = Snapshot
2 = LoadCue
3 = {stop/back?}
4 = macro
5-0 = Encoder
B = beam
I = intensity
etc.

It is only doing this for OLE, not any other programs on the machine.

I've narrowed it down a little more with some additional experimentation.  I cleared my show and the problem went away.  No surprise, I had begun to suspect it must be related to the show file.  I then merged my magic sheet into the blank show and the problem came back.  Something about my magic sheet causes this problem.  Since I cant export the magic sheet to USITT, is there a way to look at it to see what might cause the problem?  I have an uncanny knack to break things like this.  I guess I push everything to the limit.

Exporting and importing the file (to XML) to a blank show fixes the problem.  Whatever is causing it does not get exported and the magic sheet seems complete when it imports.  Thanks!

I reset the offline system, created a new blank show and then created a blank magic sheet in the blank show.  Displaying the magic sheet and pressing Format (F4) causes the problem.  When I press Live (F2), it displays LoadCue.  Esc doesn't work to close the window and tab won't move between windows.  Selecting Live or Blind display with the mouse and then closing all windows (shift & tab) causes the problem to go away. Displaying and focusing on the magic sheet causes the problem to return.  What is supposed to happen when you press Format while viewing a magic sheet? 

what you're seeing seems to be the Ctrl level of shortcuts... Ctrl-F2 is LoadCue, Ctrl-B Beam, Ctrl-G is Go, Ctrl-S is MagicSheet...

i don't think Format is supposed to do anything with magic sheet...

What Format (F4) does on a magic sheet is cause the ctrl key to be stuck ON in OLE when viewing the magic sheet. This means any other key does the behavior associated with having ctrl pressed with the key, but only when viewing the magic sheet.

It happens only using offline keyboard equivalents (not with the virtual keyboard).  Pressing F2 bring up what appears to be a vestigial command, "LoadCue" that is associated with ctrl-F2.  It can't be unstuck without exiting OLE.  It means you can't do a clear, because ctrl-bksp is not a clear, although you can erase an error message, since ctrl-bksp seems to work on error messages.
