Yes it happens even in full-screen mode. =20 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 s= omething), 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.
