A/UX 2.0: CmdShell vi Repeat Key Problem on Macintosh IIfx


I've noticed another bug in A/UX 2.0, but only on Macintosh IIfx. To see
it, do these steps:

1) Open a CommandShell Window, and in this window open a big text file
(/FILE for instance) with the vi editor.

2) Type some text and all seems to be okay. But sometimes, you will
notice that if you use a key with auto-repeat mode, the auto-repeat
mode will stop without any reason (for example, while holding down an
arrow key).

If you want the auto-repeat function to start again, you must hit the
release the key and press it again, or you must move the mouse outside
a window (in this last case, you are not obliged to release the key).


We have verified the symptom of the repeat key performed in vi under
CommandShell with a Macintosh IIfx running A/UX 2.0.  This strange behavior
on the repeating key will be sent to A/UX engineering for further
investigation.

For your information, here are two scenarios.  In A/UX 2.0, both the mouse
pointer and the current keyboard cursor are coexistent.  However, in A/UX
2.0.1b2, the mouse disappears from the desktop as soon as the keyboard is
activated.
