josm Keyboard input stops working

[Maarten Deen]

I have seen this also and have filed a bug for it in the past, but that 
got closed because it was not reproducible.

https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/16403

Circumstances to create it included fast succession of entering keys, 
like what Florian is describing. At a certain point I could not type new 
text but I could change existing keys.
But I have not experienced this in some time now. I'm normally using the 
webstart JOSM with usually last version of JAVA on Windows 7.

Regards,
Maarten
