Summary: In a graphical application using GTK, a key event produced by a control is captured by the parent, but key event information provided by the Key class is not available.
How to reproduce: In a GTK project, put a form, a control (for example, a textbox), and the following code: PUBLIC SUB Form_KeyRelease() DEBUG Key.Code END Press a key when the control (not the form) has the focus, and the error "No keyboard event data." will be produced. This happens in any control and its container, as far as I've seen. Expected behaviour: The information of the pressed key should be available to the parent also. Comments: This can be worse with other controls. For example, a TreeView control, when editing, shows a textbox, whose events are hidden to the Treeview user. Therefore, key events on the textbox cannot be handled, and key-related code put on the treeview's KeyRelease event will raise an error. This problem does NOT happen with Qt.
