I tried three ESCs in a row, and all I got was "ESC ESC" in the minibuffer, and the third one cleared it. Perhaps your window manager is watching for three ESCs in a row, and killing whatever window that sequence occurs in? Sounds unlikely, I know, but since "emacs -Q" fails, the problem most likely lies elsewhere. You might want to check your WM/DE settings to see if there's a triple-ESC keyboard shortcut somewhere. --Dale -- Yet creeds mean very little, Coth answered the dark god, still speaking almost gently.
