I was running fluxbox under Debian for some years with success. I am in
the habit of using keybinding combination C-A-<letter> to start a few
applications. When I upgraded to Debian Wheezy or to fluxbox 1.3.2-4 one
of my bindings ceased to work, although the other continue to function.

The non-working keybinding in ~/fluxbox/keys is: 

      Control Mod1 j :ExecCommand java -jar   \
        /usr/local/share/jabref/JabRef-2.9.2.jar

The command works just fine:
    
    $ java -jar /usr/local/share/jabref/JabRef-2.9.2.jar

I tried to do a $ xev followed by C-A-j keypress:

   KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
   root 0x2b0, subw 0x0, time 34593952, (1591,-452), root:(1593,48), 
   state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
   XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
   XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
   XFilterEvent returns: False
