I think this has something to do with bug 34079.
With the 2000-03-31-08 Win32 build I can type in text controls only until I try 
to open a context menu.
Sometimes I can use the "invisible" context menu items (see bug 34079) with the 
keyboard (right click, press "S" gets save as dialog)  After I left click to 
close the "invisible" context menu I still can't type in any text controls 
(location bar, other text fields).

I can only reproduce this problem if I attempt to open a context menu.  Resolving 
as worksforme since typing does work if you can manage to make the hidden context 
menu go away (I press s and then cancel).
