I have a little problem when working on my Windows 8 laptop: Sometimes, without apparent reason, the system behaves as if the Ctrl key is constantly pressed (it is not mechanically stuck). Closing the active window or simply deactivating it by opening another window changes everything back to normal.

I did some googling on this issue - it seems to be a well-known error, but I couldn't find any definite solution to it. Does anyone of you guys know how it can be resolved? It's not a terrible malfunction but somewhat annoying!

UPDATE: I think it's caused by some mouse gesture (?). A simple push of the ctrl key resets to normal.
