Hi I've noticed a change of behavior between 2.3.2_rc4 and 2.3.2_rc5: in the former pressing a key and keeping it pressed would generate A SERIES of KeyPress/KeyRelease events, while in the latter pressing a key and keeping it pressed would generate only A SINGLE KeyPress event. As far as I know, the new behavior happens in all X applications (at least in Xev, Xterm+Bash, Xterm+Less) but not in non-X applications (Terminal+Bash, Terminal+Less). I've check by reinstalling _rc3 & _rc4 (both with "old" behavior) then _rc5 ("new" behavior). For the record: I use a MacBookPro with a generic 10.5.6 + X11 (no ~/.* files). See below for an (unhelpful ?) Xev output in both cases when pressing the space key. Regardless of this new "feature", I cannot thank you enough for the work you're doing. Happy new year. -- Jean-Francois Sygnet E-mail: jfs00@sygnet.info XQuartz 2.3.2_rc4 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple28) ############################# KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001, root 0x27d, subw 0xa00002, time 2387836284, (48,47), root:(68,89), state 0x0, keycode 57 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001, root 0x27d, subw 0xa00002, time 2387836368, (48,47), root:(68,89), state 0x0, keycode 57 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001, root 0x27d, subw 0xa00002, time 2387836368, (48,47), root:(68,89), state 0x0, keycode 57 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001, root 0x27d, subw 0xa00002, time 2387836444, (48,47), root:(68,89), state 0x0, keycode 57 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XFilterEvent returns: False XQuartz 2.3.2_rc5 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple30) ############################################# KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001, root 0x27d, subw 0x0, time 2390161254, (58,69), root:(58,91), state 0x0, keycode 57 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XFilterEvent returns: False
