I had similar problems until I found out that my numlock was on. I run SAS on solaris and it had its own keyboard mapping start-up init. SAS maps every key with what I think might be the exhaustive modifier keys combination.
For example, For [INSERT] SAS maps <none>:osfInsert -> SASInsert(); Capslock:osfInsert -> SASInsert(); When I used Reflection/X, the Numlock on/off had no effect. But when I use cygwin/X, I need an additional SAS keyboard defn: Numlock:osfInsert -> SASInsert(); Which I decided not to define. I simply make sure the numlock is off. There are two points to note here: 1. Does your software do the same as SAS, and therefore afflicted by it? 2. Why does numlock have no effect when using Exceed and Reflection but Cygwin/X is affected by it. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
