SQL Developer not accepting certain characters from the keyboard

CharlovSep 3 2009 — edited Sep 3 2009
Hello,
I have been using SQL Developer for 5 or 6 months now, with minor issues and great satisfaction.

A few days ago, just out of the blue, in the middle of the day, SQL developer started not accepting the following characters:

Ctrlv, Ctrl + c, F5, F9 (I Think all function keys), BackSpace, Delete, Enter and arrow keys.+*

T*his is only happening in the text editor part*. I am able to use this keys in the results, whether they were a script output or an execute query output.
SQL developer also functions properly (if i paste using the mouse, paste works.. and all the other keys)

I checked the pc for viruses, using AVG, no viruses were found (my avg is updated daily and runs daily virus checks on a schedule, and this issue has been here for the past 1 or 2 weeks, so it was a virus, i think it should have been discoverd, besides, the keys are still working in sql developer, only not in the text editor part)

Needless to say, but if i run notepad and type, keys work properly.
I also reinstalled it in another folder with no luck
Tried so many restarts .. no luck
Tried it in safe mode .. no luck

I am using SQL developer Version 1.5.4, Build MAIN-5940.. on Windows Xp
I am suspecting there's some option in it that I disabled without paying attention..

HELP!!!


Regards,
Charles
