Hi Ken,
I'm way behind in this conversation chain, but I wanted to mention that there are times when my Delete (and Enter I believe) keys cease to work. I can't reproduce it, but it seems to be isolated to the source I have open, so if I re-open the source it works. A bit less painful than what you're talking about. Also this happens to me once every couple months. Sucks to hear you're having these issues constantly.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] RDi 9.5 announcement
I just wondering if they are going to have the fixes for "re-paint" issues, and key-stroke mapping errors that have plaque RDI since 9.0.
Intermediate, not full time. But still very annoying!
Like the save-icon not working, as the dot-netters laugh, and say it works in Microsoft products. <frown> As they hear me cussing.
Every so often my delete key stops working, cursor disappears. And force to create new workspace. Not very often, but still happens. That does not happen in Microsoft Products.
If I could repeat the error on a consistent basis, I would open dozens of PMR to get these fixed. But it is quirky, and I have no clue why it happens. It "seems" to happen most when I am debugging a program for some strange reason. Not repeatable tough. That is the part that drives me BONKERS!!!! And I KNOW for a fact, I am NOT THE ONLY ONE...
<sad face>
OH well, I need shut-up. I need to get use to re-starting RDI several times during the day. And then maybe re-create new work-space and move on is the motto for this product.
A new release is NO GOOD, if it breaks things that worked fine in a previous release. I hope and pray that IBM does QUALITY control on this release BEFORE releasing it to the public...
Yes, I am skeptical, as past experience have taught me that...
<Big Frown>
New features are worthless, if the base package is not 100% stable...
PS. I hope I eat humble-pie and crow!!!!
<Big Smile>
RDI user for over 9-years now. Still a WHOLE LOT BETTER than SEU, even with it occasion "quirks"... <smirk>
