As I see it on two individual machines with a common system, I think it might be system related, slackware 14.1. I could try and upgrade some packages to the current slackware branch (i.e. substitute probably some X packages) if I only could guess which part of the system could possibly be responsible. Is there anybody who could guess? Thanks Ruda

I believe I had this problem on FreeBSD. I have setxkbmap -option grp:shifts_toggle,ctrl:nocaps us,rs(latin) in my .xinitrc, and when I press left shift key, left button starts to behave as right button. If I run: setxkbmap -option us,rs(latin) setxkbmap -option grp:menu_toggle,ctrl:nocaps us,rs(latin) Acme behaves normally. Check out this bug report (I'm not sure why it was marked Invalid): https://bitbucket.org/rsc/plan9port/issue/135/xkboptions-with-shift-both_capslock_cancel Regards, Bojan
Re: [9fans] p9p mouse problem
There was a hook to allow you to use 2 button mice with plan9 which used (as I remember) the shift key to make button 3 bring up the menu normally used for button 2. I cannot make this work any more but I have a usb mouse and keyboard, perhaps it was a feature of the PS2 mouse/keyboard drievr? Anyway, perhaps your keyboard is the problem, not sending a key-up event when you release the shift key somtimes? Just a guess. -Steve

[9fans] p9p mouse problem
Hello, I now encounter a problem with my mouse in plan9port. Every now and then it happens that my left button starts to behave as the right button. What helps is pressing a ctrl key on the keyboard: immediately after that things are ok again for a while. Has anybody fought with this before? Any solution? Thanks Ruda
