Backspace and delete keys not working in LS?

Hi all, I was tutoring a co-worker on the basics of LiveCycle Designer, and ran into a very odd problem.  Neither the backspace nor the delete keys work in the application.  In order to delete text or a cell, she had to resort to using "Cut."

Moreover, when she tried to create a drop-down list, she was not able to click the "+" sign in the object palette in order to add items to it...it was as if the button simply was not there.  I've never seen this issue before.  Anyone know what's going on and if there is a setting to fix this?  I know the keyboard is not damaged because backspace and delete keys work fine in other applications.

Thanks!

Did you accidentally hit "Insert" button...I have seen this happen when I hit that button unintentionally.

It's quite possible.  Closing the document and then re-opening it somehow magically reset the keys so that they work now.  Thanks for the response, though!
