Try to disable the keyboard shortcuts plugin...

Can you type { in edit controls? What about any other wxwidgets based app?

I have this problem too, same config (MacBook Leopard 10.5.8, Spanish ISO keyboard layout (es_ES), Code::Blocks svn build Mar 1, 2010)
I cant write '{' and '[' simbols on source code screen, but I can write them on search form and others fields...

I have not active plugins on my configuration.
If I switch the keyboard configuration to US I can write correctly.

Hope you can help.
Thank you

Looks like a wxWidgets issue...
Can you find another wxWidgets based app and try if there is the same problem?

I tried the application "BitWise IM" and it worked perfectly, if you know a better application based on wxWidgets Please let me directed.

Moreover, the problem with the keyboard is not limited to the character '(' and '[' but all the symbols of these keys.
Actually, these keys will behave as if they were a return key, creating a new line.

In a Spanish keyboard keys containing the characters '[' and '(', are the keys used to type accents:
'[' Is the key to the right of the key 'P'.
'(' Is the key to the right of the key 'ñ'.

1. Try a simple wxSmith app that uses the same wxWidgets version C::B is build, if typing is broken then wx is to blame
2. Does the BitWise IM and C::B use the same version of wxWidgets?

Better than look for an aplication I downloaded wxWidgets version 2.8.10 and compiled the examples.
Using the sample of text,  I can write correctly the characters '{' and '[' in all text fields.

So I think it's not a wxWidget issue...
What's the next step ?
(By the way, I´m using an abbreviation to type these chars... but it's very uncomfortable)

So, you're sure that the version of wxWidgets the C::B was compiled with is working OK?

If yes, wipe (rename and backup) your C::B config...
Last resort is to build a svn C::B from inside C::B and start debugging...
