I have been having an intermittent problem where eclipse doesn't recognize arrow keys and backspace or delete.  Regular character keys work just fine as does enter. 

In other apps, the keys all work.

This is on a MacBook Pro, with 10.7.3.

Quitting and restarting Eclipse doesn't resolve this issue.  I had to restart the mac to get it to work.

This sounds bad. For us to be able to do anything we need to be able to recreate it, so please update this bug if you come across some steps that can reproduce this.


CC'ing Lakshmi and Silenio to see if they have ever seen this on 10.7.3
