Hey everyone, long time player here. I thought I'd go back with my old files and create a Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 server for old times' sake with friends. Unfortunately, I cannot get legacy versions of Minecraft to run smoothly.
What happens is that after pressing a key on my keyboard assigned to a control, all controls for Minecraft ,except for the mouse, sieze. FPS drops ~%75. I am currently running on a late 2012 mac mini and macOS Yosemite. I have seen that this was a common problem among people experiencing the "native cursors not supported," but there was no real solid answer. I have seen a post about this and how to fix it, but it is strictly for programmers, which I should have no business doing as I have the tendency to mess things up more than fixing them. If any help could be sent my way, that'd be great. Thanks, everyone.
EDIT: Usually inputting two or more commands at once yields the error. Though all keyboard controls get disabled, mouse controls stay the same. FPS during the softlock drops to 24-30fps rather than the usual 60fps. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON BETA 1.7.3. If I can get some other people on OSX Yosemite to see if this problem is with their b1.7.3 client that'd be very helpful.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't really help. I upgraded to Java 8, which didn't work, and then Java 6. Keyboard still randomly locks up.
Bump
It seems I have found a cause for this glitch, but it doesn't happen all of the time. Pressing any controls (mouse, keyboard) at the same time locks up a certain key then releases it. There is no error for when this shows up. Sometimes the glitch is minor, where it only freezes a certain key or mouse button for three or four seconds. Other times, the entire keyboard and mouse setup locks up and doesn't allow any control over the character. Help would be much appreciated!
Not sure if this is the same problem (it certainly sounds + acts similar) but I turned off key repeat (System Preferences > Keyboard > Key Repeat > off) and it seems to be working fine.

Java 7 has some issues with some methods in lwjgl, try using java 8 or downgrading to the mac version of java 6(the one apple provides)
