Suddenly Stop Working, then Resume Working

Stop Auto-Focusing: Today, my Rebel EOS 300 suddenly stop focusing. I had it Lock position. When I inserted the film and snap the window, it doesn't advance the film. But will advance the film when I turn to 'Unlock' mode to start taking picture. So I start taking picture. It would let me in auto-focus mode. It would exhaust the focusing range, but couldn't find one; No focal point, no picture taken!!! It won't take the picture, even when I have pressed the button all the way down to take a picture. It would however allow me to take manual-focus picture.

Working Again: After ruined the film, and player with the buttons, it is fine again!!!

Any comments welcome.

Shelf Condition: I had the camera sitting on the shelf. The last time I finished the roll of film was a month a go, and known to be in perfect condition. When shelfed, no film but attached to the battery pack.
