>From the keyboard testing department, April 19 2002. Today we noticed the following behaviour from XWin:
Whilst typing merrily away in an xterm-client, all of a sudden a message window popped up, as message windows are wont to do. The xterm-client lost control, and did not notice that the end user had released the key he was pressing in xterm, in this case, the "a"-key. Under the impression that the end-user was still holding the "a"-key, the xterm-client continued displaying "a"-characters, and would still be doing so, had he not been stopped by the end-user himself. Please ignore this message if the behaviour described above is not, as is often much to hastily concluded, a bug, but rather a feature to occupy the clients while the end user is being distracted. With the utmost respect, we remain, yours faithfully, etc. etc. =============================== This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
