    MyEclipse on my machine is behaving strangely, after I use it for a while it won’t display the proper character for what I press on the keyboard.

    i.e. if I type curly braces into this window I get {}, but if I do the same key-presses in MyEclipse I get ¨Ç

    When I type…

    ? I get É
    / I get é
    ” I get É
    ‘ I get é
    < I get ‘
    > I get ”

    A restart of MyEclipse fixes it for a while.

    Ocasionally everything will go back to working on its own. Sometimes the characters change to something different, so if I figure out that tilde is now mapped to forward slash and start using tilde, eventually tilde will be mapped to something else…

    This is my on my new box at work running Windows Vista. I thought it may be memory settings, but I added -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M to the startup parameters, and I still had the issue.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Jeremy
