If I am not mistaken, GNOME currently behaves exactly like Windows XP in this area: Windows XP also requires two presses of alt if you want alt to be considered to still be pressed down even after pressing a non-modifier key. Now, I could be mistaken, especially since I do not have access to a MS Windows system to verify myself, but korn AT sun.com claimed this at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102656#c11 and Bill seemed to verify it later in the same bug report. ;-) _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
