Why can't I type an asterisk in Eclipse?

Question

I just upgraded Eclipse from Juno to Kepler, and suddenly I can no longer type asterisks. I have to open up a text editor, type the asterisk there, then copy-paste it into Eclipse. I can type an asterisk in Eclipse when I am using Find/Replace, but I am unable to when I am editing a python or Java file.

As shown in the image, the shortcut key shift+8 was assigned for the import command. You have to change this assignment by specifying a new one or removing it using the unbind command button.

Do the same for all the commands, click apply and then restart Eclipse.
