While on the topic, I was wondering if anyone had an aswer to
a nagging question that has been on my mind. When I was using 2.2.5, I
had this chronic problem where when I was in vi, on the shell line, or
in other curses-type programs (though not always using curses), the
arrow keys would often "stick."
That is, if you pressed the key, nothing would happen. You would
have to hit ESC, then (in vi) you would hear a beep (indicating that it
wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary).
When I upgraded to 2.2.6, it all seem to go away (for a while).
Now it's back. (But not as often.) It's a very annoying (and very vague)
problem. You have to hit ESC every once in a while...
Just curious.
