Thanks for this additional information. Would it be possible for you to install on some other Linux or windows manager? Say a Mint VM, or even Ubuntu with Cinnamon. I've got the thing working on Mint - a VM with a Windows host . I've had post-6.3 versions working on Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian, all with the Cinnamon windows manager. @Edward would know better, but I think I recall that he wrote that he had revised key handling at some point in there, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Just to tick another box, is your keyboard set for US-EN, or some other locale? After all, we have to find *something* that is different about your installations! If all else fails, I could spin up a KUbuntu/KDE VM and see what happens. On Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 12:35:19 PM UTC-5 gar wrote: > Tnanks for your response!
