Summary	03776: Various PC-based drivers: MESS Scroll Lock keyboard toggle has snuck in somehow
Description	Various PC-based drivers are not responding to UI keys like Tab or Esc until you press Scroll Lock to toggle the keyboard. This is a feature from MESS that has somehow become activated for these MAME drivers, I guess because of the shared code like pckeybrd.c.
Steps To Reproduce	Run one of the following sets (not exhaustive): pf2012 bonanza calchase streetg Press Tab, Esc, F11, etc. - nothing happens. Press Scroll Lock - the MESS keyboard toggle message is shown and you can now use the UI keys.
Additional Information	It's not 100% of the PC drivers, for example at least filetto, tetriskr, and queen are unaffected.
