This sometimes happens, if the key combo matches a configured shortcut. 
You can check this in tools > options> editor > keyboard

Right Alt = AltGr ? that is usually seen as equal to ctrl-alt.

Though I am not aware of anything an ctrl-alt 7 or 0 by default. 
Bookmarks are on ctrl-0 to 9. Maybe test this, set bookmark 7 and see if 
your key combo jumps there.
