- When using PM with OS/2 1.2 and 1.3 with IBM PS/2 hardware, I had
- the Ctrl key stick many times. The only fix would be to tap on the
- Ctrl key. I don't know if this happened on non-PS/2 hardware. I don't
- know if this was a bug in PM or in the software application I was
- developing--most likely the former, but possibly a result of the latter.
