Windows key when pressed = minidump

This is the third time this has happened to me.

I'm playing an intense game and i hit my windows key while i'm going for alt.

This happens probably once a game for me (big fingers moving fast lol).

Last 3 games i've done this i've had a minidump. 

excuse me while i go rip that useless windows key from my keyboard.

Odd, do you also crash if you alt-tab?  Are you playing full screen, or windowed?

I play the game on Full screen.

I do not CTD if I alt + tab. 

I did this before on previous builds, and the game mini dumped about 20%-30% of the time. 

Now I am finding that I can control minidumps by pressing the windows key with the current build of the game.

Is it just some wierdness with my system or can you reproduce it?

I'm actually pressing the left alt button and the left windows key at the same time.  Maybe this mad key combo is enough to bring the minidump monster out from hiding and exact its revenge upon my corvette spamming ways.

Haven't been able to repro yet, but QA is going to look into it further.  Thanks for the info.

Oh and i spam lost of corvettes and am doing a LOT of micro, perhaps the server doesn't like this?  Usually i'm doing something very intense on CPU resources (big fights, etc.) and i accidentally hit the alt button.  It could be that my computer sucks (its a dual core, the bastard middle child of the computer world).
