Can Inner Space affect typing outside of games?

Yesterday, when I was trying to compose a reply to my other post, I thought I needed to buy a new keyboard. Some keys sporadically refused to work, particularly upper case shifted keys, though others were not immune. I would keep banging on the key, windows would pop up the "sticky keys" prompt (until I turned that off) and eventually the character would show up. It also seemed that there was some sort of intermittent "lag" effect, making it difficult to type fast.

This morning I exited Inner Space which had been running for a while in the task bar.

And now my keyboard is miraculously healed, working smoothly.

Not conclusive. But suspicious. Am I being silly or is it possible that Inner Space was causing my problem? Could this be related to the duplicated broadcast keys glitch that I mentioned in that other post?

It's possible that it was related, but probably not the cause. Inner Space doesn't affect the keyboard in other processes unless you have set up a global Hotkey (e.g. by using the "globalbind" command). But, it's possible that some other program loaded a DLL in Inner Space that was causing the problem. Or Inner Space could possibly have been using up a lot of CPU and causing strange behavior, but not likely...

Could this be related to the duplicated broadcast keys glitch that I mentioned in that other post?

Possible but I would say not likely? If the uplink was being slow for some reason it could have resulted in a broadcasted release of the key being ever-so-slightly delayed, leading to the "a" being held too long.
