Those aren't really MAME bugs, just consequences of MAME using keys that are also being used by your operating system.

Ctrl and Alt as the default keys for buttons may have made sense in the DOS days when nothing but the emulator itself was reading the keyboard, but in modern operating systems they're landmines since Ctrl + Alt + (some key) is very often used as a keyboard shortcut to switch applications, rotate/zoom the screen, etc.

The obvious solution is to change your key bindings. Or better yet, get a gamepad. A wired 360 or PS3 pad is pretty cheap and will only get cheaper now that the next generation of consoles is out.
