Insert Point Lock [message #629551]

I can be working (typing, cutting, pasting) in multiple frame/windows (editor window) and somehow (timebase, keystroke, ???) the editor will go into a keyboard ignore situation. (keyboard/mouse work in other application windows on workstation/laptop but not in Eclipse
The mouse (click, move, select) still seem to work. I can shutdown Eclipse and restart. Everything seems back to normal.

Is there some button/menu entry that will reset the cursor insert point and allow keyboard input again?

You wouldn't be working on Linux and accidentally hit ^S by any chance?

almost the right idea, but no, this time I have to use XP (corporate laptop)

so keyboard won't send any more keystrokes to Eclipse,
cut (from another editor works), paste into Eclipse won't.

Mouse works in Eclipse.

On Windows, there is also this insert/delete/overwrite issues. And yes, it seems like ^s and ^q, but that's not it.

so far I've have to restart Eclipse twice because of this issue Mad

Is it just in the editor or the whole Eclipse? Which editor? Maybe you
have more than one input language and keyboard layouts installed and by
accident you switch into another locale?

Update:

This problem would appear to impact all eclipse windows that can handle data input.

Last time it happend I was in the debugger and I caught the error log. The log showed Two sets of messages ("unhandled event loop exception" & "Abnormal Workbench Condition") listed in org.eclipse.ui.

so No there is not any key-stroke or menu button to reset that I'm aware of. The situation does in-fact require a restart in order to clear the conditions.

If I can identify the events leading up to the event I will fill a bug report. (there is no sense in filling a report, unless I can tell how to regenerate the problem.)

thanks
