After that, they print the letters A, B, C, and D instead of moving the cursor. Some additional keys also stop working, e.g. backspace, while others continue to work. Additionally, the keyboard gets sluggish and occasionally repeats a character until you e.g. hit ESC. The session is still stable and usable and in e.g. KWrite you can use the copy/paste functionality together with text marking to complete your editing operations. (But console is a bit tough...) Logging out and logging in "resets", until you reach the next 9 arrow strikes. So long as you avoid using the arrow keys, there is no problem. OpenSUSE 12.3 default kernel English OS with Swedish vanilla keyboard Basic VNC setup (now as user root, -rfbauth and with vncpasswd set) Both latest TightVNC Windows client and old (1.3?) standalone Windows executable behave the same. Haven't tried any other client/client OS Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hit an arrow key 9 times. 2. 3. Actual Results: Please see above. Expected Results: Move the cursor. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
