This has happened to me twice now where the program just stops accepting keyboard input in the editor. Nothing I press makes any changes. I can close the active file and open a new one and the same thing continues. Nothing I type ends up in the editor. I need to restart the application to get input ability back.

I apologize for the vague report. I'm a software tester by trade, so I do know how woefully inadequate this report really is. I was just curious if this was already known or if there was more information that I could reasonably grab the next time it happens. I think it occurs when using the right click > Element Type menu to change an element's type, but I'm not certain that's true of the first time this happened.

Hi,

I've seen this occur once.. and I think I put it down to something in my development branch. I vaguely remember someone else mentioning this in an earlier version.

If I had to guess, I would say that the text control lost the keyboard focus to something else, and is unable to get it back, even upon click. Mouse actions still work (scrolling, setting cursor, etc).

For now I've opened https://github.com/oskusalerma/trelby/issues/326 to track this.
