Keyboard stops working after focus is changed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit.
Many times when I change focus of the application to something else, when I 
return to grafx2 the keyboard stops working.
This has happened with many versions.

It happens when I use Alt+Tab to switch applications and NOT when I click with 
the mouse on another app.

I've seen it in Windows XP too. When it happens, Grafx2 actually thinks the ALT 
key (from your alt-tab) is still being pressed, and this changes the meaning of 
all shortcuts. If you press and release Alt, situation gets back to normal.
Can you try  with the last SDL.dll ? 
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15-win32.zip
(overwrite the one in Grafx2\bin)
I tested on my side and couldn't reproduce the problem with this version of the 
DLL.

Totally nailed it. Pressing Alt fixed the issue and replacing the SDL DLL fixed 
it for good!

Well thank you for the report. We need to include the most recent SDL.DLL in 
future releases.

Hmmmm not really sure, but it might have just done the same again, even with 
the new SDL. I'll post again if I find the bug again.
