Seems to work for me.

Again, works  for me.

The keymap should be the same.

Can you debug these issues and file tickets with any additional data you have?


What data can I provide and how is it gathered?  For the keymaps do you know the best way to compare?  It seems the path is OSX -> X-Windows -> Linux -> Emacs.  

I'd probably start by looking at `xmodmap -pk` and then comparing that in the good/bad cases.

That was because 2.7.11 unfortunately subscribed to the beta feed.  That being said, I just released 2.8.0 last night, so you should try with that.

I will perform some comparisons again, but want to make sure I'm gathering the right data.  Are you using a small screen size?  I ask because I had prior occasions where it's geometry caused bugs that the developers missed on big screens.

Thanks
