Not really, no. I can't reproduce it here, but then I only have my laptop with me. I do have a full size keyboard back in the office, but I won't be there for a week or so to test. I suspect what's happening is that the dialogues don't catch the key (because it's not used by any of the controls by default) and are passing it to their parent. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
