Roberto,

The first thing I checked was the layout.
Nothing changed.
And I don't think is related to shortcut keys, because clicking in a
different tab, and the problem
goes away for that tab.

It's a very weird scenario. I started writing this e-mail with the problem
in the current window
and when I got in the third line it went back to normal, and now it just
happened again.

Another point is that I can type a word with 100 characters, if I type a
space or a comma for example,
the word persists. If I press a control key (like ESC, or PrintScreen) or
click out of the text field the word
disappear if I never had written it.

I can switch my layout between Portuguese (Brazil) and English (US) but the
problem persist independently.
Anyway I don't have any shortcut key configuration for changing layout.

Thanks for the help.

I look forward to hear from you.

Regards.

Paulo
