Title:
  ctrl+<key> shortcut in do not work with show cursor in certain apps

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Problem:
  When I enable 'Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed' in the settings->mouse menu, I can no longer use ctrl-X/C/V in chromium. The showing of the cursor position deselects the inputbox. 
  Im pretty sure I have seen this behaviour in other apps too. Not only chromium. Except for ubuntu-like apps, they work fine.
  Could it be Qt? GTK2?

  Disabling the 'Show position of pointer..' function solves the issue
  and ctrl-C etc works again.

  Reproduce:
   * turn on 'show position of pointer...'
   * start chromium
   * navigate to website with inputbox
   * Select text
   * press ctrl-c to copy text
   * observe text being de-selected

  Expected behaviour: Copy the selected text to clipboard
  Observed behaviour: Selected text gets de-selected and does not get copied to the clipboard.

  System info:
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04
