Is Target Calling Broken?

The way things worked for me up until Friday 7/28:
<ctrl+space> = "I am attacking xxx!"
<ctrl+shift+space> = "I am targeting xxx!"

Since last Friday, <ctrl+shift+space> works the same as <ctrl+space> for me - they both result in "I am attacking xxx!".

Has anyone else experienced this? Did I miss a patch note or something?

I have tried two different keyboards and tested them both with a keyboard tester from <passmark.com>.

I am accustomed to being able to call targets and send in the warrior henchmen without actually initiating an attack myself, being that I am usually wearing only pajamas or tatoos.

Targeting works fine for me. Check the keybinds in game.

They may have altered the keybinds, check your options tab. Ill check as well when I get home

Haven't had a problem with this. I always use ctrl+shift+space in PvP and PvE and just three hours ago, the last time I played, it was working.

Check to see if you messed with your keybindings, as maybe with the options screen being changed you accidentally changed something.

I'm also having this problem. Now my guild wars keyset will not call targets using the call target button. This is annoying. Also, using Ctrl + Shift + space doesn't call + attack, it only calls.
I'm extremely annoyed with this.
