SN on Sparc/Solaris editor weirdness.

SN on Sparc/Solaris editor weirdness.

[Benjamin Scherrey]

When I run SourceNavigator under SPARC/Solaris the editor inserts a '*' 
character everytime I hit the right shift key. The key is shifted properly so 
I get stuff like this:

	cout *<< *"Hello!*" *<< endl;

when I typed this:

	cout << "Hello!" << endl;

	Any ideas?

No, but it is the weirdest bug I've heard of in a while.

When you say everytime, does this happen in file dialogs,
filters, entry boxes the preferences dialog, etc.?

IAn.

Happens in all of SN. I'm accessing the Sun box from an Intel/Linux box via 
ssh. It's only SN that has this problem, however. No other program/shell does 
this.

Could you try running the following over your ssh
X session?

First, save these commands into a file called type.tcl.

% cat type.tcl 
entry .e
pack .e

% wish type.tcl

(I am assuming that you have wish installed somewhere
on your server)

That should bring up a little entry box that
you can type into.

Now run the version of wish that got installed
in your SN install dir.

$INSTALL/bin/wish type.tcl

The same entry box should appear and you
should be able to type into it with no
problems.

Try that and tell us what results you get.
