Re: [Texmacs-dev] Notice: strange key sequence behavior on Qt-TeXmacs

[Norbert Nemec]

Hi Max,

after quite some work, I managed to track down the problem to the commit 
introducing the native Qt runloop. Rolling back and applying my own 
patches instead does not show the problem, so it must be somewhere in 
the changes that you did on top of my patches.

Most notably is indeed the delayed message handling. However, your 
latest fix does not solve the problem. Maybe there is something else.

Unfortunately, I still cannot reproduce in any predictable way. 
Sometimes, the Alt key works for the whole session, sometimes it does 
not work at all for the whole session. This seems to depend very 
delicately on when I press the Alt key for the first time and what keys 
I press along with it. I have not managed to figure this out in detail. :-(

Greetings,
Norbert
