- This has been documented by IBM, and is referred to as the "sticky Alt key"
- problem. The resolution is to quickly press and release the *LEFT* Alt
- key. I ass-u-me a fix will be forthcoming.
- IBM put a document on IBMLink which describes several bugs in the SP, and
- fixes or workarounds where they exist. I posted a message there asking
- for permission to distribute the doc here, but haven't heard back, but
- someone uploaded it to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu anyway...
