Dear Bryce, I know you're busy, but I'm curious: why didn't anyone respond to the bug? Was it left unassigned? I'll be happy to file it again. I do update Ubuntu every day and have noticed no improvement. I'll try the latest full release as soon as it changes. Thank you for your help and for your note. Glenn

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-server” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid 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.
