Can't insert "space" character when editing code

(1/1)

Folco:
Hi,


I just compiled C::B (rev 8434) on Kubuntu 12.04 64b. I have deleted ~/.codeblocks
When editing a source, I can't insert a "space", between two words... The key works fine in other C::B place or in other softwares, but not when editing a file >< I always get the code completion popup instead.
Here is a shot :
I cant write "int main", I get always that popup.

Thanks to help me, because it is... annoying, and I would want to use CC :)

Is it possible that your 'ctrl' key is 'locked'? (so space become ctrl+space).

Folco:
No, I have a normal behavior with other OS (MS or *nix).

Freem:
use xev (an X event spy) to check which key is really send. If it is a CTRL+Space, the problem is because of your OS configuration. Maybe try "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" could solve the problem.

Folco:
Ok, I didn't think to use xev. I'll try.
