Description Jiri Skrivanek 2007-07-02 14:47:37 UTC 
In recent build certain key bindings doesn't work in a plain text file. Maybe it is related to key binding changes
(issue 108517). It starts to work when you open and close Tools|Options. To reproduce:

- create java application
- opne new file wizard
- select Other|Empty File and finish the wizard
- type something in but Enter, Backspace, arrows, Page Down/Up don't work
- if you open Tools|Options and close it, it started to work

Build 200707021120) Java: 1.6.0_02-ea, WindowsXP.

I've seen it too on several machines. It was reproduced with property file and java file, but it's random and I cannot
find any reliable steps to reproduce.
Comment 2 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-07-03 10:37:35 UTC 
I was able to reproduce it with the original steps, but saw it occasionally with other files too.

I have the current 6.0 dev build (July, 3rd) running on two different computers both with Windows XP and Java6.
Editing Java files works fine, but for XML and TXT files the arrow keys do not work. This is usually directly after
starting NB, then switching to the "Favorites" Tab and open e.g. a .txt file from there, this can be reproduced.

It seems that after closing some editor tabs, the arrow keys start working again.
Comment 4 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-07-10 11:30:53 UTC 
This should already be fixed with issue #109038. I cleaned up the legacy code that initializes editor keymaps. Could you
please try it in a dev build. Reopen the report if it happens again.
Comment 5 Jiri Skrivanek 2007-09-04 10:47:00 UTC 
Verified.
