Thanks for running this experiment! As you say, ekr.leo is just a
test file. You did exactly right by creating test.leo as you did.

FYI, my machine is:
Python 2.7.2, PyQt version 4.7.3
Windows 7 AMD64 (build 6.1.7601) SP1
So there may be a PyQt issue. Keyboard issues are also possible.

Yes, trying the code on other machines is a good strategy.
But it's important to understand what is going on. For sure,
*something* strange is happening, and if it happening to you, it could
happen to others. Including me ;-)
If you are willing, I would suggest enabling tracing in the following methods:
- LeoQtEventFilter.eventFilter in qtGui.py
- vc.do_key, in leoVim.py,
- k.masterKeyHandler in leoKeys.py.
To do this, open a leoPy.leo (a local copy of LeoPyRef.leo), and in
each method, change:
trace = False and not g.app.unitTesting
to::
trace = True and not g.app.unitTesting
Save leoPy.leo, rename leoSettings.leo and myLeoSettings.leo as before
so as to disable them, run your test.leo (in a windows console!) and
report what appears in the console when you type a colon.
Yes, this is a bit of work. But it should be worthwhile. These traces
provide an thorough view of the machinations that Leo goes through
when handling key events. There is a good chance that important clues
will appear.
Thanks for your help on this project. Imo, it is important to solve
this problem, whatever it's ultimate cause.
