Ok, so I had some time today and wanted to actually try reproducing this, but I can't for the life of me get this to trigger. Can you please be as specific as possible in the following: 1) What are your spaces preferences? Do you have "when switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application" enabled? 2) Do you have X11 running in the "other" space (ie, the one you switched to, then away from)? 3) Can you reproduce this with no running applications in the "other" space? (so when you switch there, you're just in Finder) 4) When you release the ctrl-arrow key (or ctrl-number key), can you hold it down for about 2 seconds after going to the space, then release the ctrl, then wait a second, then release the arrow. I want to see if there's some kind of race and you're "faster" than I am or something... 5) Can you tell me what the X11 Preferences Input menu options are?

I just updated my 10.5.4 box to X11-2.3.0 and I'm experiencing a rather annoying issue. I use a hotkey combination (CTRL + arrow keys) to move around between spaces. When I use this combination to switch out of the space where X11 is runninig, whenever I return to that space (either by hotkeys or using the spaces dock icon) all of my xterms seem to think the CTRL key is still held down.

Is this a known issue?
Yes. I think it has finally moved up near the top of Jeremy's list of things to work on, so maybe a fix will be forthcoming.
Ah, OK, thanks for the follow-up. I saw comments about issues with non- US keyboards, but I did not see this one listed.
A workaround, if you haven't already found it, is to hit the control key after moving to the new space.
Yup, that's what I have been using, but I frequently destroy a few xterms with accidental CTRL-D's before I realize what's happening ;-)
Since this is a known issue I'll assume you don't need test cases and will downgrade for now. Many thanks again for the prompt reply!
