I noticed that this occurs whenever these apps open a modal window (like a
"File Open" dialog or "File Save" dialog). The modal window automatically
appears in the floating layer. Once I dismiss the modal window, the focus
returns to the main java app (which is in the managed layer) and the app no
longer responds to keystrokes. The app is not frozen -- I can still use
the mouse to click on buttons/menus.
Strange. It works for me. Which apps and which specific dialogs?

The programmer, who needs clarity, who must talk all day to a machine
that demands declarations, hunkers down into a low-grade annoyance.
It is here that the stereotype of the programmer, sitting in a dim
room, growling from behind Coke cans, has its origins. The disorder
of the desk, the floor; the yellow Post-It notes everywhere; the
whiteboards covered with scrawl: all this is the outward manifestation
of the messiness of human thought. The messiness cannot go into the
program; it piles up around the programmer.
