I've had this problem in a Win-OS/2 session.  Just typing, then nothing.  Once in
a while, my shift key acts like it's being held down, sometimes it's my control
key.  Usually, I just lose all access to the keyboard and have to shut down the
windows session and start it up again (once, I had to reboot!).

The bracket probably had nothing to do with it.  

I too am looking for answers.  Please post them here if anyone has any ideas.

Much thanks in advance!
