Shift Key Ortho

I am having issues with a particular thing I use daily.  When I switched over from AutoCAD 2010 to AutoCAD Map 2014 is when I experienced this issue.  

 

When I hold down the SHIFT key it will toggle ORTHO mode on or off.  It has always done this but the issue is that now when I hold down the SHIFT key it will not actually allow me to draw a line when I left click.  For Example:

 

ORTHO mode is off

I type command in to draw a polyline.

I hold down the shift key because I want to draw a straight line

It toggles the ORTHO mode on

I then left click to draw the line but it doesnt draw the line.

 

This has just always been a shortcut for me instead of actually turning the ortho mode on or off.  How can I fix this?

This is normally defined in the menu as a temporary override, as shown below. I wonder if your menu has been damaged and this is missing?

Have you looked in your CUI to see if this is present and enabled?
