Spurious keystrokes in VC consoles

[hugo v. <hug...@ca...>]

Hi Team!

I think Backstreet Ruby is the neatest thing
since canned beer and indoor plumbing, I am very
happy with it.

There is only one minor problem with either the
2.4.22 or 2.4.23 versions: spurious keystrokes
are produced on the vc console.

E.g.: I run SvgaTextMode so I get an fb quality
virtual console. Let's say I run mc there. Then I
switch to alt+ctrl+7 and do things. Then I switch
back to the vc and frequently mc for example
shows the menu for F6. So on that vc an F6 key
was detected.

It is no big deal because you do a two hop: only
switch to F7 from a vc that has nothing.

Is this a known problem?

A Merry Christmas and Happy Newyear to all.

Hugo.
