title: Keyboard random failure in Visual Studio 2010
body: <p>I have not been able to track down why random actions in Visual studio 2010 will cause the keyboard and/or mouse to start performing different actions than anticipated or more often than not, stop responding to certain actions.</p>
  
  <p>I never loose complete control, but I could return to VS from another screen and any of the following could occur:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Clicking on text with the mouse, acts like I have the shift key down and tries to highlight entire areas</p></li>
  <li><p>arrow keys will no longer move the cursor</p></li>
  <li>Delete, backspace or enter will stop responding</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I am not sure that it is always after returning from running an application/debug, but that is definitely a majority of the times that I encounter the issue.  Most of the time I have to completely shutdown VS and restart to get keyboard functionality back.  Most of the time, other functions still work such as typing.</p>
  
  <p>I should note, that I always check another application that those keys are responding as they are expected to verify it is only in VS that the problem is occurring.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?</p>
