    Just installed 5.0.1 onto an Acer Aspire Netbook running Linpus (a Fedora derivative) linux.

    Installed great but starting CQRLOG I get a problem -  every time I type I get 2 characters instead of 1. So my callsign appears as GG00UUKKBB if I try to log myself as a test.

    This also happens in the Preferences options (ie changing the rig baud rate to 4800,  44880000 was entered. Entering test text in the font option boxes, however, worked OK

      Mi solución para el problema:
      http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2142662&forum_id=737838
      Delete /home/user/cqrlog
      try new install again,when show Complete new install or upgrade from prievous version
      select new.
      In field /home/user/cqrlog/
      write something(after /home/user/cqrlog/)If the letters are doubled Ctrl+Space Tab and try again work for me!!!

      Jose - thank you. That didn't work for me. ctrl-space+tab did work on the install panel and stopped echoed characters there but when cqrlog runs if I use ctrl-space-tab I get Chinese characters!

      But I do have a work around. When cqrlog has started then if I right-click on any data entry field (for example the Call field) I get a pop-up menu with Input Methods as an option. Expanding this I find that the program is using "SCIM Bridge Input Method". If I change this to either "Default" or "X Input Method" then all works OK

      Does anyone know if there is any way I can config cqrlog to always use either my system default or the X Input Method without having to do this every time I start cqrlog?

      Thanks Jose - I wouldn't have gone looking without knowing you'd got it working.

      I'm sorry my English is bad ... is Ctrl + Spacebar
      No Ctrl + Space + tab
