[846] Left Ctrl+Left Shift+Left button of the mouse makes ZQ quit?

Ok, accidentally, I've pushed the left Ctrl button and the left Shift button and the left button of the mouse to draw a combo on the screen, then Zquest quits/ crash ... Bug perhaps?

Doesn't left Control + click bring up a menu? ...No, wait, that's only for Macs that have but one mouse button.

Well, I have no sneaker for this problem! Sorry.

Oh,well... never mind. It just crashed me. Uh... it doesn't pop up an error screen. Are we sure this isn't just Windows behavior?

I tested this and observed a few things:

1. Ctrl+Click fills the screen with the currently selected combo.
2. Shift+Ctrl+Click fills the screen with combo 0 when used on a blank screen, regardless of what combo is selected.
3. The crash only happens when Shift+Ctrl+Click is used on a screen with some combos already on it.
4. The bug has no connection to the side of the keyboard the Shift and Ctrl buttons are pressed on.

This would lead me to determine that Shift+Ctrl+Click is a ZQuest "hotkey" of sorts, and that there is some outdated, or otherwise bad code connected with its use as a hotkey.

I tested this with Beta 863 using Vista in full-screen large mode.

Ctrl-Shift-Click does for CSets what Ctrl-Click does for Combos and CSets. Useful for changing the CSet of a whole area at once. Anyway, fixed now.
