224.0. "Strange Things Happening on VS2000." by HOTAIR::BOYLES () Thu Feb 16 1989 09:46

    A VERY STRANGE thing happened when moving DECwindows from a UVAX-II/GPB
    over to a VS2000 (image backup of disk used for xfer).
    
    Where the GPX seemed to work just fine the VS2000 now does the
    following:
      1.  Inside a DECterm window a double <return> is required for
          every carriage-return.
      2.  If I hit the left <arror> key or the backspace key the
          cursor will go character-by-character to the beginning of
          the line... sort of an auto-"auto-repeat" mode.
      3.  If I've setup different windows with different colors when
          I click on a window all of the windows take on the same color
          along with a screen change in color.
    
    I'm running VMS051 with DECW051.
    
    Thanks.

224.1keyboard hw/sw?STAR::BMATTHEWSThu Feb 16 1989 11:124
Part of this sounds like the keyboard hw and sw are not in synch. Try
unplugging and plugging the keyboard back in again.

Interesting - point (1) used to happen a *lot* in the early days of 
Firefox, mostly when the machine was HALTed/CONTinued. Is there any 
chance this might be the case?

    3:	 machine was HALTed/CONTinued.
    
    Nope... happens as soon as I reboot the system.  Doesn't require
    me to do anything special or "funny".
