Quick workaround: use Num Lock for this. :) Any Lock key has the same effect
in Blackbox.

Long version: it's your key mapping at fault. Run 'xmodmap' from a terminal
under X and see what it sais. I'd bet you don't have Scroll_Lock anywhere, or
it's not assigned to mod5. If that's true, here's the magic thingy (you can
put it in your ~/.xinitrc):

xmodmap -e "clear Mod5"
xmodmap -e "add Mod5 = Scroll_Lock ISO_Level3_Shift"

This has also happened to me after an XFree upgrade. Apparently some little
things changed, so my old xmodmap settings didn't wield the same results
anymore. Scroll_Lock was just one of the issues. If you want I can send you
all my xmodmap settings offlist, since this is not a Blackbox issue.
