Try comparing the properties of a group that works with the one that
doesn't. Also compare individual field properties, in particular check the
traversalOn, autoHilite, and lockText. That alone wouldn't explain why it
appears to fix itself occasionally, but could point to a script that
changes one of these properties.

I have an app with a group of fields who are struggling to accept keyboard
input. It seems to just be 1 group of 4 fields on a single card (that has
been noticed). You can click in the field and the blinking I-bar is
inserted, but typing on the keyboard does nothing. Pasting text into any of
these fields seems to unlock the ability to type, as does switching to
another application and switching back, but only until you leave the card
and come back again.
This ONLY happens in executable on Windows, not in IDE and never on Mac
(where I am developing which is why I missed the bug in testing). Once you
unlock 1 of the 4 fields in the group they all unlock until you leave the
card and come back where the problem manifests again.There is another group
of text files (hidden so not on screen the same time as the offending
group) that accepts keyboard input fine without any hacks which points to a
problem with the group. There are no scripts on the field or group itself.
I have already tried a “focus on nothing” without any luck.
