> While using the numpad arrow keys to move around in a paragraph of text, the up arrow produces unexpected results.  The up-arrow switches the keyoard context to the toolbar.  This is not immediately obvious because the cursor is still blinking normally in the paragraph of text.  At this point the cursor appears to be stuck.  A mouse click can place the cursor anywhere in the paragraph, but the keyboard context is still at the toolbar.  All typing is interpreted by the toolbar, so nothing happens other than unintended formatting.
