I agree; I've seen this for years. It happens in Windows in a VM running on my Macbook, it happens on Windows running natively on any number of systems. But it doesn't happen on Linux in a VM on my MacBook, and it doesn't happen in OS X. Something in Windows doesn't ever see that the key has been released, so it thinks it is still down. Problems like this would surely have been fixed years ago if the source code was open. If everyone didn't run away screaming after looking at the code, that is. :) Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
