    A similar thing has happened to me, and it was related to the contol keys, as mentioned in several comments. It stopped happening to me, which makes me think that some update or security patch fixed it on my system. Usually I could get it to stop happening by pressing one or the other of the control keys, sometimes I had to restart Visual Studio, and sometimes I had to restart my computer.

    PS – I haven’t had this problem for at least 2-3 months, so make sure you have all Windows 7 updates.

    PPS – Sometimes pressing the shift keys several times makes the problem go away, other times the control key seems to be the problem. I have had it happen to me again, but not nearly as often as before.
