I had the same problem on redhat 7.2
The way I got around it was to keep track of the first
time it was released and then always perform the
action one more time (ignoring the first release). So
on windows the first release is ignored but after that
it isn't and so we don't move. On linux the first
release is ignored (which really isn't a release) and
so the code is executed one more time and then the
KeyPressed event comes along and we've never stopped
executing. This is assuming you have a similar setup
to KeyNavigatorBehavior where all the events are saved
until a new frame and then they are all sent at once.
PSUEDO CODE:
if(release)
{
oldKeyPress = keyPress;
firstTime = true;
}
later in code...
if(keyPress == UP || (firstTime && oldKeyPress == UP))
{
move(UP);
firstTime = false;
}
Not very clean and makes my behavior run 100% of the
time (even when no keys are pressed).
Let me know if you find a cleaner way.
