I've also noticed the same problem but for me it has just been an annoyance -
just press/release ALT again and it's OK again.
Regards, Simon

| Subject: [info-performer] Problem with pfuGetEvents when changing focus. |
>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Dear Performers,
I have some problems with the pfuGetEvents call with Open Performer 3.0 in
Linux. It seemed that sometimes the alt-key hung in our openPerformer
application.
I discovered that when changing focus to another window while the alt-key
is pressed, pfuGetEvents keeps on saying the alt-key is pressed, even when
it's not anymore. This situation remains when the focus is given back to
the openPerformer window.
When this happens, pressing the alt-key again can solve this.
This is a bit of a problem for us, because our Open Performer application
creates windows when alt+<another key> is pressed.
When the window manager is configured to give focus to newly created
windows, this problem nearly always occurs when creating a new window
using alt. If the windows manager is configured not to give new windows
focus, then this problem still occurs if the user gives focus to this new
window too fast.
I've tested this on Iris Performer Beta 2.2 on our Onyx2 too. It seems
that the Onyx is also suffering from this problem.
Is this a known problem? Any ways to solve this?
Thanks in Advance!,
Tijs Zwinkels
