This is a nanefestation of an infestation called key ghosting. It has
nothing to do with the remote software and often can be at least temporarily
relieved by tapping the offending key a few times. What is happening is
that your modifier keys are being electronically employeed to execute
commands even though you are not pressing them. if you hear "not in a table
when you press arrow keys, the keys envolved are alt+ctrl so in effect, you
are executing alt+ctrl+arrow. Tapping those modifiers can restore life
temporarily but as you say, reboot seems to be the best solution for this
particular affliction.
Contacting fs may help with this.

Venting Occurs.
i am having my own problem with JFW 6.1. At work, I am running a Dell
computer with XP Pro and JFW 6.1 on a network which is remotely controlled
by the network admin. Since installing JFW 6.1, i notice that
occasionally, just out of the blue, a gremlin takes over my keyboard. no
matter what ap I am in, when i hit any of the arrow keys, JFW will say "Not
in a table". The NUMPAD-INSERT key is useless, so I can't issue any JAWS
commands. When i hit the ALT key, I am taken into the dropdown menus, but
can't use the arrow keys because it will say "Not in a table". If I hit
NUMPAD-INSERT F4 it will say either ALT-F4 or ALT-CONTROL-F4. If i hit
NUMPAD-INSERT-T to read the title bar, it will say either ALT-T or
ALT-CONTROL-T and do nothing. If I hit ALT-F4 nothing happens. If i hit
the NUMLOCK key it says either ALT-NUMLOCK OFF or ON, or
ALT-CONTROL-NUMLOCK off or on. i usually end up having to reboot to
restore things to normal. What is going on? Someone suggested that it
could be JFW conflicting with the remote software used by the network
admin. interestingly, this problem doesn't happen with Window-Eyes.
