My left and right control keys aren't working anywhere, in a fresh Intrepid Ibex (8.10) install. I did not change anything, did not install KeyTouch, and my keyboard works fine. I have scoured the web for similar posts and help but found none so far. Help!

Ditto. I tried messing around in System>>Preferences>>Keyboard, but nothing in there in the layout options seems to fix it.

--out of ctrl

Actually, now that I look deeper, it seems the Ctrl key is only not working in Firefox...

--out of ctrl

To narrow it down even further for me, it's not working in gmail.

This problem seems to be caused by greasefire/greasemonkey. I deactivated greasefire, et voila I could copy and paste again. I think it may be the igoogle sidebar script that is causing this, but I'm not sure.
