When running a Delphi 1.0 program, sometimes the keyboard simply seems to
lock up. When I exit and restart Windows (3.11) the keyboard works nicely
again. There doesn't seem to be any pattern, it just happens seemingly at
random. This gets really frustrating after a while!
Is this a bug in Delphi 1?
Is this happening just to me or has anyone else had this same problem?
If you recognize this problem an know a solution, please contact me at:

Additional info:
This happens on a Pentium 100, 16Mb RAM running on a small Lansmart network
as well as a stand-alone Pentium 200, 32Mb RAM.
DOS version 6.2, Windows 3.11

I had the same problem in 1995 - almost same environment (486, though:-).
Never heard about this problem again from anybody before your posting.

In my case - it turned out to be bad keyboard:-(

There is a known bug of things locking up if you have code size optimize
'ON'

Look in Options|Project|Linker| and check that 'EXE & DLL optimize for size
and load time' is *NOT* checked..

There is a known bug in D1 where the use of a MaskEdit component can cause
keyboard locking on some machines.    Try going to
http://www.dataweb.nl/~r.p.sterkenburg/indexpag.htm which is
the Delphi bug list index and look under Visual Component Library/TMaskEdit
for some info on this bug and how to fix it (if you have the source code).

Hope this helps!
