#20 Fn keys crash in linux

[Anonymous]

On linux (32bit, archlinux) the brainworkshop crashes everytime I use Fn keys to alter volume. Otherwise the program runs nice.
Attaching the crash msg.
Thanks for a great program! :)

Looks like the Fn key is generating an extra wide unicode character, or something, and pyglet is choking on it. I'll forward this to Alex Holkner; maybe he can fix it, or at least use a try:...except:... block to turn this into a warning (and ignore the keypress) instead of a fatal error.

sounds reasonable, do you happen to know if it was implemented? I can still observe the crash on 2.8.1. Thanks

I've fixed the issue upstream in pyglet. should be fine with next release.
