Tab, ctrl, shift key issues

lEpidemic

I just re-installed crossfire on my computer and when i first log on the tab, ctrl, shift, and space keys dont work. I go into settings and have to change them to left ctrl, shift, etc. But i still cant get the tab key to work which is a real pain. they all work when im not in game and my keyboard is plugged in and all. any ideas?
