- This is happening to us as well, and I keep meaning to track it down, but never
- quite seem to get around to it...
-
- It only happens with the X11 input routines, and not the standard stuff (ie:
- rlogin from a dumb terminal or unset DISPLAY and it doesn't need two cr's).
-
- I've tracked it down to the way single char's are read, but I can't seem to see
- what's wrong - something to do with all the ioctl's ?
-
- Extra information: it happened in Spice3dn (n=1 i think),
- then it stopped happening in Spice3e1, then started again after applying the
- patch to 3e2 ! I've scoured the patch file, and there are only about three
- relevant routines changed, so a few hours of work would probably solve it, but
- the last time I tried it I failed miserably cos I wasn't too familiar with C
- code (!) so...
-
- now you know where to look ;-) why not give it a try (probably < 100 important
- lines of code).
