Abstract

CA400EXP-TERMEMUL-INCORROUT RECTANGLE MARK PROBLEMS WHEN USING
KEYBOARD

Error Description

Customer has customized keyboard to have arrows key for alt key
combination defined as "mark" function.                        
                                                               
They've noticed that since SI64724 install when pressing        
alt+arrow key, to mark part of the screen, if they then release
arrow key only then rectangle mark disappears.                  
                                                               
To recreate:                                                    
1) Change keyboard file to have arrow keys defined for "mark"  
when using alt key combination (or use .kmp attached below)    
2) From any part of the screen press alt-right arrow keys to    
mark (keeping both keys pressed will show mark rectangle as    
expected).                                                      
3) As soon as right arrow key is released mark rectangle will  
disappear....
