Yeah, this is annoying. A quick way out is to hit the ESC button. Took me
forever to figure that out.
The more permanent fix is to remove the 'up' and 'down' events from the
default key maps. I have some code that needed their own keymap and I
checked for collisions with the default keymap:

Might be overkill for what you need, but you should get the idea.
