Dear Chris, Thank you for your help. I would not have known to talk to the Xorg folks. I appreciate it. Glenn

Not num lock. Glenn, I think this must either be a Xorg or kernel bug so I am reassigning this bug to our Xorg maintainer. Thanks, Chris ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: openoffice.org => xorg -- Repeating arrow keys change to numbers. Not num lock. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337025 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “xorg” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Dear Launchpad & OOo folks, Lovely new version of OOo Writer. Thank you. I have a single problem, a strange one: When using the keyboard to highlight, for instance, when I hold down shift and then the arrow keys: At an unpredictable rate, when the movement starts repeating (moving faster), the arrow key changes to a number, always either 4 (more common) or 6 (less common.) The result is that what I have highlighted is rewritten to a 4 or 6 or series thereof. Quickly thereafter, my control key turns into a sticky key, such that any arrow or scroll-wheel or key action functions as if CTRL is depressed. Pressing CTRL a few times turns that back off. This is inconvenient because when editing, it's easy to replace text that I wished only to embolden, italicize, or underline can turn into 4s & 6s, and if I do notice, it's hard to get back because CTRL is faux-depressed. I would love an update when this is fixed. I believe you know, but I'm running a Vaio with no other problems. OO2.4 didn't have this bug. I'll be updating daily! I you have questions, please email. Thank you much for your community work. My system & my work are faster because of you all.
