To reproduce this: (1) Run XWin using the standard startxwin.sh (2) Click in the root window to get twm to place the xterm window somewhere, and place the mouse cursor in the xterm window, so the xterm has keyboard focus (actually, as far as I can tell, it's possible to reproduce this bug in an xterm at any time, not just immediately after XWin startup) (3) Press caps lock, but don't release it (4) While continuing to hold down caps lock, move the mouse cursor over one of the program icons in the windows task bar, e.g. Internet Explorer (5) Release caps lock with the mouse cursor over the program icon (6) Set the focus once more on the xterm & type some letters: xterm and other XFree86-hosted applications behave as if caps lock is off, but the caps lock LED light on the keyboard is on, and all Windows applications behave as if caps lock is on. If you press caps lock again, the reverse is true. Thus XFree86 has the opposite state of the caps lock key. Although the steps to reproduce the problem seem obscure, I somehow manage to do it surprisingly often -- I'm not sure why I hit caps lock at all, but I apparently do. But, this is clearly a minor bug and some of the workarounds are obvious. Workarounds: - (obvious) quit & re-start XFree86 - (obvious) Toggle caps lock when switching between a Windows and an XFree86-hosted application, or use the shift key to type letters in the correct case - Perform the above steps that reproduce the problem, which will put XFree86 back in sync with Windows The rest of this message is the output of cygcheck -s -v -r: ----------snip------------- Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Fri Aug 16 16:51:03 2002 Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 Path: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\netpbm C:\cygwin\bin c:\WINNT\system32 c:\WINNT c:\WINNT\System32\Wbem SysDir: C:\WINNT\System32 WinDir: C:\WINNT HOME = `C:\cygwin\zawe' MAKE_MODE = `unix' PWD = `/c/zasha/code/RasMol_2.7.1.1/src' USER = `ZAWE' ALLUSERSPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' APPDATA = `C:\Documents and Settings\zawe\Application Data' COMMONPROGRAMFILES = `C:\Program Files\Common Files' COMPUTERNAME = `USZGA0393' COMSPEC = `C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' DISPLAY = `:0.0' HOMEDRIVE = `C:' HOMEPATH = `\cygwin\zawe' HOMESHARE = `\\ntuszg01\users' LOGNAME = `ZAWE' LOGONSERVER = `\\QUIMBY' MANPATH = `:/usr/ssl/man' NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = `1' OLDPWD = `/zawe/sims-f77' OS2LIBPATH = `C:\WINNT\system32\os2\dll;' OS = `Windows_NT' PATHEXT = `.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH' PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = `x86' PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = `x86 Family 6 Model 5 Stepping 2, GenuineIntel' PROCESSOR_LEVEL = `6' PROCESSOR_REVISION = `0502' PROGRAMFILES = `C:\Program Files' PROMPT = `$P$G' PS1 = `\[\033]0;\w\007 \033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $ ' SHLVL = `3' SYSTEMDRIVE = `C:' SYSTEMROOT = `C:\WINNT' TEMP = `c:\DOCUME~1\zawe\LOCALS~1\Temp' TERM = `xterm' TMP = `c:\DOCUME~1\zawe\LOCALS~1\Temp' USERDOMAIN = `USZG' USERNAME = `ZAWE' USERPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\zawe' WINDIR = `C:\WINNT' WINDOWID = `29360142' WMAKER_BIN_NAME = `wmaker' WRASTER_COLOR_RESOLUTION0 = `4' _ = `/usr/bin/cygcheck' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = `/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x00000022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = `C:\cygwin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = `C:\cygwin/bin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = `C:\cygwin/lib' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts (default) = `C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options a: fd N/A N/A c: hd NTFS 3075Mb 91% CP CS UN PA FC d: fd N/A N/A e: cd N/A N/A f: net NTFS 100151Mb 39% CP CS UN PA FC g: net NTFS 204789Mb 52% CP CS UN PA FC h: net NTFS 204789Mb 52% CP CS UN PA FC i: net NTFS 204789Mb 52% CP CS UN PA FC j: net NTFS 204799Mb 68% CP CS UN PA FC k: net NTFS 204789Mb 52% CP CS UN PA FC m: net NTFS 204799Mb 68% CP CS UN PA FC n: net NTFS 204799Mb 68% CP CS UN PA FC o: net NTFS 204789Mb 52% CP CS UN PA FC p: net NTFS 169561Mb 56% CP CS UN PA FC s: net NTFS 204789Mb 52% CP CS UN PA FC t: net NTFS 204799Mb 68% CP CS UN PA FC u: net NTFS 204799Mb 68% CP CS UN PA FC w: net NTFS 204799Mb 68% CP CS UN PA FC C:\cygwin / system binmode C:\cygwin/bin /usr/bin system binmode C:\cygwin/lib /usr/lib system binmode C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts system binmode . /cygdrive user binmode,cygdrive Found: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cpp.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\find.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\ld.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\make.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe 41k 2002/05/14 C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygPropList-0.dll -
