Dear Tim,

I have experienced something similar - don't know if it's the same thing as you:

I use MacOS X, on a MacBook Pro with a trackpad. My trackpad is set to accept 
clicks via 'taps', and also to accept contextual-menu clicks (control+click) as 
two-fingered taps. Because of that setting, I've noticed in LiveCode that when 
I am typing something extensive, sometimes a stray thumb or lazy hand will 
accidentally touch the trackpad, and trigger the 'control-click', leaving the 
field unresponsive. The first time this happened, it left me quite puzzled, as 
nothing seemed to respond: pressing tabs, returns, etc, would yield no result. 
I had to 'click out' somewhere, and the click back on the field. 

Switching that setting in System Preferences seemed to fix this. I, however, do 
like to have my two-fingered clicks, so I just put up with having to 
click-out-and-in every now and then...

As I said, this may have nothing to do with your issue, but it just sounded 
similar...

Kind regards,
