What windowmanager do you use on the host? Do you use X forwarding? Does it work with -vnc? Maybe -k en helps? -- 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.

I tend to use arrow keys a lot, so I'm pretty sure they worked for me ;-). What windowmanager do you use on the host?
GNOME
Do you use X forwarding?
Negative.
Does it work with -vnc? Maybe -k en helps?
Setting -k en-us fixes the issue... now why do I need to provide that? :D -- 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.

This hack breaks on some systems, like Windows, since SDL there doesn't provide raw X11 keycodes (obviously). So something in the SDL raw keycode reading is wrong or has changed. Is this on STABLE? If so, I'd guess it's a change in SDL that triggered this. -- 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.

This is on Beta 4. It works on my laptop without providing -k but breaks on my Desktop. The desktop provides different keycodes for the arrow keys. Attaching xev output from the two machines. -- 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.
