I still get this all the time when the cpu is busy ! -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Cobb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 2:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Eap-bugs] Re: Weird character showing up with CTRL-combos
I get this sometimes when my CPU is near 100% and I hit any control character. I find myself hitting CTRL-Z to undo a change. Then hitting it again to undo the little box that got inserted instead. Then hitting it again to undo what I wanted to undo in the first place. cc Ian Zabel wrote: > Since this bug is still happening in 629, and I don't know if you've > fixed it 630 or not, I thought I'd do a little bit more research today > since it's been happening to me quite a bit. > > The last time I got the character, I decided to save the file and > open it up in a hex editor.
