Strange key stroke behaviour in editor in Linux

(1/3) > >>

PgmHelmi:
First let me say:

Code::Blocks is a great IDEa!
Thanks for the development!
Thanks to the one(s) supplying packages in OpenSuse repositories!

Now to my question:

I have worked with Windows before, since some time I am working in Linux and have sometimes problems in the editor.

After pressing space no space is inserted in text, after pressing space twice C2A0 is inserted (which is Non-Breaking Space I read).
Semicolon must be pressed more than once to be inserted in text.
Also other keys are influenced, when pressed not appearing on screen and when pressed more times another character is inserted into the
text (e.g. Copyright sign instead of C, ' instead of ". Or a \ when I press / twice fast, a [ when I press (
This occurrences are more often in combination with SHIFT and CTRL keys. This happens not always but often enough to be annoying.

OS: Linux, OpenSuse 11.3 32 Bit
Code::Blocks Version: svn 6583 from OpenSuse repositories

Another thing I wondered: Is it intended, that the forum can only be searched by registered persons? In former days I could do that without being registered.

Thank you for your answer in advance!

PgmHelmi:
Has someone at least a hint for me where or what to search? I have already searched very intensive, but nothing found up to now.

I forgot to mention, that I am using Gnome Desktop.

Folco:
I don't get that with Kubuntu. I have also used C::B with GNOME, I did never noticed that.

Jenna:
I use C::B on gnome, sometimes on kde and used it in xfce and lxde. This problem never occurs.
It might be a problem with your systems keyboard settings.

There has been a space-bar problem with french alternative keyboard.
See http://lgp203.free.fr/spip/spip.php?article1 and go down to the "Post scriptum" and/ or this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/221112 (there are more similar bug-reports if I remember right).

Maybe it can lead you in the right direction.
If you find a solution or the cause for the error, please post it here.

PgmHelmi:
Thanks for your answers!

I have no french keyboard layout, but a german one and it is not only the space bar but other keys too. For testing I tried US layout but it did not change the behavior.
But now I know exactly how to reproduce it: Mark something with Shift + Ctrl + Cursor Right then enter another key like space. On first key stroke of space nothing
happens on second a non breaking space is entered. Other keys have to be pressed more than once too, but not all are converted. E.g. converted keys are c, s and ,
May be OpenSuse has another configuration than Ubuntu, which causes the behavior. So my searching goes on, further help is appreciated.

Kind regards!
