Using Win32::GUI 0.0.668, and Perl 5.6 or 5.6.1 (I'm using 5.8 now,
but I'm not sure which version of Perl the user is running).
I have no clue why this would happen, nor am I desirous of upgrading
to XP to find out why.... help!
Sounds like there must be some interaction between Win32::GUI and
WinXP (I don't use Win32::GUI::Loft in that program) that is causing
keystrokes to be seen twice.

The problem I'm experiencing is with a Textfield element. When running
the program, 90% of the keystrokes I type into the textfield (including
backspace keystrokes) are repeated twice. The effect is visible as you
type, so my guess is that the program is related to my use of
Win32::GUI
or Win32::GUI::Loft, but I haven't changed any Loft options for the
textfield other than the name and the initial text. My Checkbox
elements and a RichEdit element work fine.
Any ideas?

In the past, when I've had a loop that's expecially long, I've placed
a Win32::GUI::DoEvents call inside it so the window doesn't appear to
be be hanging. I've noticed this effect when such a loop is going.
Do you by chance have a loop with DoEvents in it? (The WinXP thing
may be simply a coincidence.)
Indeed I do have such a loop.... precisely in the area in which my user
complained. Seems like the WinXP thing can't be completely
coincidental, but may not be the root cause.... I guess I'd better
upgrade my "GUIprompt" window to be a full-fledged window, although if I
recall, that is going to be annoying, to structure the events appropriately.
Daniel -- do you have a DoEvents loop too?
