User(s) can reproduce this bug

in source view of html pages (aspx, ascx) some keys stop working; backspace key in particular. It may have something to do w/ focus but I'm not sure

Visual Studio 2010

English

Open solution of reasonable size (4 or more projects w/ at least 10 files each)
Leave the editor open for some time (using it or not for maybe 40+ minutes). switch to a aspx or ascx (that was open) and backspace doesn't work.

Fixing this is as easy as closing the file and reopening it. Something close all but this will work as well.

I've noticed the same behavior. Several keys will stop working, specifically the backspace and backarrow keys. I have not found the pattern that induces the problem, but if I close the aspx file and then reopen it the problem goes away for that file, however any other open ASPX pages (in source view) continue to have the problem. Switching to Design view and back to Source view has also eliviated the problem (but not sure that is a consistent work around yet).
