Confirmed. Nothing more, nothing less. ;)
I updated my FC5t2 boot partition yesterday, and about half way through the process, this exact same thing happened. After rebooting (to make sure new kernel worked), I didn't see it again, so it was either an artifact of something changing out from under me during the update, or I just haven't used it enough to see it happen again.
When it happens to me -- and remember, it's key input which is not working in a window then, the mouse pointer is working fine all the time (!) -- I minimise/maximise the window, which usually fixes it.
