OK, then the real symptom here is an interaction with the Nasal view
management code, which doesn't read "number-views" at all, but instead
loops through the actual property children of the view node.

I agree with Melchior: what is this thing doing there?  Who reads it,
and why do we need it?

Hrm... it works for me on linux.  Are any other keys affected?
Specifically, check the operation of other "shifted" keys.

If I had to guess what would cause something like this, it would be a
keymap bug in the OS X plib or glut port...

Heh ;)  I don't mind top or bottom replies but sticking them in 
the middle throws me a bit.

Anyway...  I can't find any problems here - cvs a day or two old 
- I tried just calling fgfs with no params, to get the C-172, 
and could scroll backwards and forwards through the views ok.  
Cycled forward to chase w/o yaw, cycled backwards from it - no 
problems.

Then tried both the A-10s, because you mention that they had no 
chase view w/o view and had no problems there either, including 
the chase view w/o yaw.

Do you get a 'Drop View' with the A-10s?  The Drop view should be 
the 'last' view on the A-10s, before you end up back in the 
Cockpit and should come after the chase view w/o yaw.  Do you 
get both the chase view w/o yaw and drop view on the A-10s?

Have you found this with several different aircraft or have you 
only tried a single type so far?  If it only happens with a 
specific aircraft, which one is it?
