The keywords.txt file contains TAB characters after the # characters in the comments. In (at least) version 1.0.5-r2 of the Arduino IDE for Windows this causes a constant redrawing error as outlined here:

This issue makes the Arduino IDE completely unusable once you've copied the NXShield directory into C:\Program Files\Arduino\libraries.
I was able to stop the error by removing the tab after the # and replacing it with a space in all instances. Attached is a working version of my keywords.txt file.
