#52 NT console problem

[user222]

When running Colinux with the NT console instead of the
FLTK console, pressing [ALT-SPACE] makes it impossible
to resume the session.

...the session without restarting the NT Colinux console.

Sorry, wrong submission. If you press [ALT-SPACE] in the NT
Colinux console, the window operation menu pops up and
Colinux would think the [ALT] key is still held. You would
need to press the [ALT] key again to "release" the key.

The is a known issue. Try and Alt and Space seperately and
see if your application accepts input that as a Alt-Space
combination.

I'm not able to duplicate, this, can you give more details,
what program you running in coLinux that things ALT is still
pressed, etc?

Ok. I see the same thing with Midnight Commander.

Interesting issue. Putty appears to handle this by
overriding or unassigning the default action for alt-space.
I would suggest that the same method is used with the
colinux-console.

As workaround you can press ones the ALT key, then keyboard is usable again.

The sticky ALT after exit from system menu is handled now inside the nt console.
