Don't let go of the Ctrl key. :-) 

Modifier key shortcuts, like Ctrl+M (to open the Pgf Designer), involve
_simultaneous_ key-presses; that's why they're illustrated with a plus
sign between the keys (e.g., Ctrl+M, Alt+F2, Shift+Tab). Don't confuse
them with the (cross-platform) Escape key _sequences_, which, as the
name suggests, involve _sequential_ key-presses (e.g., Esc s v, Esc f i
f). 

I can't help you with the dialog box problem, as I'm not sure I
understand it. But you may have to click twice on a control in a
non-modal dialog if it doesn't already have focus; the first click just
moves the focus to the dialog (you'll see its title bar change from
unselected to selected color). Otherwise, it sounds like a display
issue; is it exclusive to FM? 

HTH!
