Hi Raj, thanks for the advise. Yes it happens even in full-screen
mode.
In the mean-time, i've tracked down more information.
When I press shift-alt-% for query replace, emacs still thinks
the alt is pressed, thus if I type 'p', (because I want to replace p with something), emacs hears alt-p, do display the previous query-replace
target. :-(
This could also be a citrix issue. It is the type of bug which citrix
has from time to time.
Jim
