 * Input Method Editor (IME) is using Hiragana mode.
 * You unplug and then reinsert the USB connector for the numeric keypad.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use either of the following methods:
 * Switch to a window other than the window for the program that is experiencing the issue, and then switch back to the first window.
