I can not reproduce your issue. Could you please attach a screenshot to verify the error?
And, have you changed key-mapping configuration of CodeEditor at [Tool]|[Options...]?

I experienced a similar issue with CTRL+SHIFT+F in Delphi 2010 where the "Unable to Insert Line" error was displayed when the Find in Files window was opened. I checked the Windows Registry and found that there was a empty string value for the Item2 key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->CodeGear->BDS->7.0->History List. I changed the empty string to a dummy value of "test" and then I was able to search again. I'm not sure what initially set the key to empty string, since I didn't edit the registry directly to set it to blank and a search won't normally allow an empty string from the Find in Files window.

I ran a test setting the value to an empty string and the error occured again until I put a non-blank value in Item2.

I was stumped by this until I read your reply. I found item4 empty, inserted "test", and all is well again after restarting the IDE.
