I haven't seen any differences between keydown/keyup events between 
versions. The most likely reason for loss of key events is that a 
handler is intercepting them somewhere. Try suspending development tools 
and see if they work again. Also make sure the Messages button is not 
bolded in Rev's toolbar; turning off messages will stop many events from 
being passed to your stack.

The issue with 3.5 reporting a corrupted stack was a known bug, now 
fixed in 4.0. Your stack was never corrupted, it was just a glitch which 
you could work around by opening the stack from the File menu rather 
than by double-clicking. The bug occured even before 4.0 was available, 
and the same warning appeared with 3.5 stacks. It was spurious and did 
not affect or alter the stack in any way. The bug only occured on Snow 
Leopard machines.
