This is what solved my problem.

Goto Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Change keyboards or other input methods -> Change keyboards... -> Advanced Key Settings. For some reason I had ctrl + space set as Key sequence for language hot keys. I changed them to something else and rebooted.

Make sure to reboot because it did not work for me without the reboot.

I use eclipse indigo and had this problem. Creating a new workspace did not worked.

Go to Windows->preference->General->Keys->"Restore Default" - This fixed my issue

Note that I just had English(US) on windows 7 [Control Panel-> Clock,Language and Region ->Change keyboard or other input methods-> Keyboards and Languages->change Keyboards...->General ==>Default language is English and Installed Services I just had English(US) alone

After doing this some you might need to restart the system if it does not fix.
