i'm seeing it also
i was away in oz for a month and when i came back at the weekend i updated by
machines to 9932
now my frontend stops handling keystrokes
i cannot see any obvious pattern to it
there were some changes made to tv_play.cpp about three weeks ago with a
comment about ignoring keystrokes under certain circumstances. but i don't
know this code in any detail to be able to debug this.
