After ctrl-clicking an http://file link, several key / key-combinations (e.g. space bar, tab, Alt-Z, Alt-H) stopped working in the terminal. Most alphanumeric keys still worked, but not '2'.

    Was not immediately reproducible after closing and re-running SyncTERM. :-(

    My initial guess on this one is that focus is lost with CTRL down, once the new window has focus, it doesn't get the corresponding key up, so everything assumes CTRL is still down. The timing difference between releasing control and the browser taking focus would be the difference between working and not.

    Should be fixed in git (will push/rebuild after slogging through all the presumably excellent reports)

    Should be fixed now, works on my Windows system here.

    Appears fixed in latest nightly build.
