This sounds like the problem where the system believes that a dialog, 
such as a password input dialog, is open somewhere, so it disables text 
input elsewhere, even in the current application. On my system, the 
LastPass plug-in is often the apparent culprit. (I also use Keyboard 
Maestro, which alerts me when I press a text expansion shortcut that it 
intercepted due to this problem. KM explicitly suggests that I check 
LastPass, which has always been the culprit so far.)
