Keyboard is not working at all (except Exposé keys, F9-F10-F11) in Myth II 1.5.1. Any ideas?

Keyboard is not working at all (except Exposé keys, F9-F10-F11) in Myth II 1.5.1. Any ideas?

I had exactly the same problem: I couldn't edit information on the multiplayer setup screen, and I couldn't use the keyboard controls in game. The mouse worked fine. And the strange thing was that everything had worked fine when I first installed.

I eventually tracked down what seems to be the cause of the problem: I had Terminal running, and within Terminal I had "Secure Keyboard Entry" selected under the "File" menu. I have no idea why the mere presence of Terminal running in the background makes this active, but turning off "Secure Keyboard Entry" (or exiting Terminal altogether) made Myth work like a charm.

Are there any developer-types out there who might be able to comment on what's going on?

My guess is Terminal is blocking Myth from receiving pressed keys (supposedly so passwords etc entered into Terminal are not stolen). However, I do not see why this should be happening when Terminal is not the foreground application.. sounds like an Apple bug.
