Hi, yes, still same story.
It's kind of a dangerous bug. Once it not only caused the entire contents of a file to be removed word-by-word, but it didn't let me undo, and there were no ~-copy. I'd say it's not a keyboard issue, since this problem never happens in other apps/editors.
This happens some 50% of the time I use ctrl-backspace.

I'm starting emacs from tcsh running cygwin-X on Windows 7.

Typing ctrl-k (or ctrl-backspace) results in everything in the active
emacs buffer being deleted word by word. I can only stop that by
rightclicking on the cygwin-x icon in the task bar.

See the long sequence of C-k below? I have only pressed it once.
This is very weird. Does it still happen?
I would have guessed a stuck keyboard, but you said it only happened
with Emacs.
