Cannot type or edit in MATLAB, only right click and menus.

Strange occurrence today, I started MATLAB and I cannot get any input except right click menus. Running 2012a on MAC 10.6. Worked fine last night. Have restarted the computer several times. When I click on the M editor or command window nothing happens, as if it is locked up. Every now and then it seems to work for an instant and whatever inputs I've tried show up on screen, then it freezes. If I double-click a word I can highlight it, but there's no cursor function.
A few times I've gotten the following error:
java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: component must be showing on the screen to determine its location

Any ideas? Should I reinstall?
Thanks Mark

Luke, the behavior in this question is Mac specific. Please contact Technical Support.

For the cases where the problem affects only the App Designer and such, please see this thread:

Let me bump this - I still get this error on Matlab 2018a. It happens consistently when using Screen Sharing, and makes this a bit rough.
