Compiler: GCC 3.0.2


Problem:

There are some problems with te various text component of GNUstep. The first problem 
is the ESC key. Pressing the escape key cause boxes to be inserted in the text which 
can only be deleted by pressing the Backspace key (not the DEL key). This occurs in 
apps like GNUMail and GWorkspace. The other problem is the Enter key in text areas, 
like the one in the compose window of GNUMail. When you press the enter key, the 
blinking  cursor does not go to the next line, but stays on the current line. When you 
start typing text it will go to the next line. Pressing the Enter key twice (which I 
did, because I thought that I did not do it well) results in the cursor being 
postitioned two line below the current line.

Another issue is the Tab key. It does not work correctly.        Things which can 
occur:
1) There is an extra space in front of the cursor (which dissapears spontaniously)
2) The tab appears when you start typing the text (behaviour like the Enter key)

Also, using <SHIFT> arrows to select text does not work (but that has probably 
something to do with not  being able to copy/paste text into text related gui 
components) Selecting text with the mouse does work.

Another problem is the following. This mail is typed in GNUMail. When I resize the 
window, so that a scrollbar appears on the left side, and I scroll down the text area, 
the text at the end of the area gets all garbled. (You see the last line twice or an 
"after image" appears). This is also the case when you are reading a mail sent to you. 
Scrolling the text area to the bottom results in garbled lines. 

Finally, the HOME key works incorrectly. END works ok, it gets you to the end of a 
line. But HOME brings you to the beginning of the text area. And PageUp, PageDown 
don't work


I also want to say that, all in all, it works pretty cool. Thumbs up!


Thats all, cheers
