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! -Darren
