Bug Description

After enabling the mouse pointer location feature I started having trouble with keyboard shortcuts that required Ctrl + other chars to be pressed. This seemed to be particularly bad with any shortcut that was Ctrl + Shift + key (e.g. Ctrl + Shift + Space in eclipse or Ctrl + Shift + t in Chrome or using Ctrl + Shift + Cursor left / right to select text quickly).

After disabling the feature. All the issues went away.
