This is pretty classic of a modal dialog being open, and since you can't 
see it, it may be hidden behind some other window. (That's hard to do, 
but it can happen.) Try hitting the return key when it next happens to 
see if you can trigger the default response in the dialog and close the 
window. Then walk through your scripts to figure out what modal window 
might be opening (ask and answer dialogs are modal, for example. Check 
for those.) There is almost nothing else that causes all actions in any 
stack, including the IDE, to just beep.
