Eclipse: some keyboard's key suddenly stop working

I feel the need to understand why, while I'm working in eclipse, some keys stop working, especially backspace and del keys.

I have searched on the net and found that it is recognized as a bug: I often read that the problem is related to other applications.

So the best advice is to restart Eckipse. (???)

Someone should explain to the Eclipse's developers that it cannot stop working (or working bad) if some other application stops working or crashes.

ps. Now I'm working in Ubuntu, but I see that the problem is platform-independent.

If you use many keyboard layouts, you may have accidentally changed them by pressing alt+shift. If that's the case, pressing it again will restore it to the normal layout.
