Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 23:32:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r5dc1mud.fsf__20941.2885633812$1292860421$gmane$org@stupidchicken.com> (raw)

A user has reported that under a certain KDE setting, Caps Lock breaks
Emacs by making every motion key a shift-motion key, thus breaking the
shift-selection feature.  Does anyone have KDE installed to test this?
