Re: Ctrl got stuck
Hi Alexander, It seems to appear more often under high load. But unfortunatly there is not much we can do about it. Hm, usually my machine is not under high load, but it could be short load peak, like directly after switch from one desktop to another... Windows reports alt-gr as simultanious presses of ctrl and alt and we have to detect whether it is alt-gr or the keys are really pressed together. Under heavy load the timeouts (and timestamps) of the events may differ between press and release events. That way you get a control press and an alt-gr release so control gets stuck. the only solution is making the detection more robust. I don´t know the implementation, but couldn´t it be a possibly approach to improve the handling of mismatching release/press events? E.g. that a Alt-Gr release releases Ctrl, too. It seems to me, that there is something else wrong, as there seem to be three states: State green: Everything works fine State red: Ctrl got stuck (possibly by pressing Alt-Gr under heavy load and releasing without heavy load, or the other way round) State yellow: Everything except Alt-Gr works fine (Can be reached from State red with pressing/releasing Ctrl, Pressing Alt-Gr switches to State red) Perhaps xfree get´s confused by a AltGr release without a press? By the way: I wrote Show Cursor returns to State green. Already opening the menu of the tray-icon returns to State green. Opening/Closing a new window seems to be the point.

Xfig oddness as EPS is imported
Dear readers, I'm running Xfig on top of up-to-date Cygwin installation. Everything works as expected, however importing an EPS file as picture object fails: Could not parse EPS file with ghostscript: ±l^T^P'^C ERROR from ghostscript: AFPL Ghostscript 8.50: Could not open the file D:\cygwin\tmp\xfig-pic001496.pix . Error: /invalidfileaccess in --.outputpage-- Operand stack: 3 --nostringval-- 1 true Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostri gval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- 2 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1124/1686(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:74/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: Permission denied AFPL Ghostscript 8.50: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Note that I am indeed using the `gs' script as suggested in URL:http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/40831. (For aficionados of Usenet/Gmane: news:[EMAIL PROTECTED].) There is a file `xfig-pic001496.pix' in Cygwin's tmp folder, however it has now owner. That is, when I explore the file properties (using the Explorer on my Windows XP Professional box) there is _no_ tab for the security configuration for that special file. I then investigated the access permissions for `D:\cygwin\tmp' -- I discovered a new user/group: NULL SID. The file magically disappears, when Xfig is closed. I experienced this behavior previously, when I still used Cygwin's version of ghostscript. Therefore I assume that Xfig is responsible for creating such files. Any idea is appreciated, Franz.
