[nycbug-talk] Keystrokes being ignored (windows related)

[jonathan at kc8onw.net]

I've twice recently run into an issue on windows machines where certain
programs would just ignore all keystrokes other than enter unless the
shift key was held down.  On both systems telnet after connection will
ignore all keystrokes like above for no apparent reason and I've been
using putty instead but now Cygwin/X xterm is doing the same thing and I
really need to find out what is going on.

If anyone else has run into this and found a fix or has any ideas I would
very much like to hear about it.

Thanks,
