Yuri, Have you never used Windows?The key when used on its own was added /specifically/ to bring up the start menu. I'm pretty sure.It still works as a modifier, Windows and KDE both implement start-r as "run". Windows has a few others like start-e for Explorer. Most of them aren't well known. Its use as a modifier does not interfere with its use standalone. Pushing it down doesn't do anything. Only upon the release does the start menu come up, giving you a chance to push another key to be modified. The overwhelming use of the key is for the start menu. I never previously realized it was a modifier used for anything and I failed to realize that windows/start-r is actually that. Anyway, it's obvious what it should do. The negative reactions to this bug i expected were more like "agreed. but no time, low priority, punt a while", or "keyboards vary too much punt to hal", or nothing at all. I am impressed with your guys' responsiveNESS to bugs, but not your actual responses. To actually justify that the current behavior is correct.. Not fixing this bug would be quite disappointing. - Jay
