When I press C-h k C-), emacs (actually `describe-key') continues to wait for a keypress. It doesn't do anything in response to C-). There are no messages in the echo area or in the *Messages* buffer. Interestingly, if I force the issue by evaluating (describe-key (kbd "C-)")), emacs reacts correctly and brings up the help for function associated with the key. I thought maybe I screwed up something on Windows, but logging in as a different user results in the same behavior. Any more ideas?
