In Ubuntu 8.04, I had added this entry in .xmodmap made Command click simulate right-clicking: keycode 116 = Pointer_Button3
In an 8.04 update a month or two ago, this line stopped working and I had forgotten about it. In Intrepid, keycode 116 has apparently been changed to represent the Down key rather than Command click. This is why, with that line in .xmodmap, pressing the Down key does not work. Solution: remove the line from .xmodmap. Underlying problem: Ubuntu expects people to be able to right-click but does not set up a working key combo for that purpose by default (bug 122962). ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Down arrow key doesn't do anything after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
