I have seen something similar with 5.70.40, not specificaly those keys but
after using it for a while it deos start ignoring keypresses.  Gain,
quitting and restarting restores normal operation.  It only seems to happen
when I'm using an old clunker of a PC running Win95 in our lab.  It's never
happened running it under NT4 on my desktop PC.

Talking of bugs, have you tried MPLAB 6.00.20?  The HiTech C integration is
shockingly bad, it dosen't remember command line switches that I set and
trying to simulate any of my code written in C causes a wierd crash with
different source windows continuously flicking up under I give it the three
finger salute.

Cheers

Mike
