Could it be that Alt-TAB is interpreted as Scroll_lock? > The Alt-TAB between window is the culprit! > Every time I switch into an emacs window with Alt-TAB I toggle > scroll-lock-mode on or off. Correction: it's not the Alt-TAB, it's the selection of the emacs window that toggles scroll-lock mode on or off. Even when I select an emacs window with the mouse cursor, it triggers toggling of scroll-lock-mode. But one question remains: how do I get rid of this behaviour?
