Hm?  If you type, say C-h k C-f, do you then get the documentation
for the C-f key?

Do you get a similar documentation after C-h k C-x C-c?

Is your window manager eating C-x or C-c, perhaps?

You could type aaa, then C-x C-c, then bbb, then C-h l.  Then between
the a's and the b's you should be able to see what Emacs saw when you
typed C-x C-c.
