Dear Julien,

Thank you for your response.  You are welcome to post a bug report, but I'd like to first take a peek at the source code.  Maybe we can find a solution that would work.  I'm busy on Thursday, but I can look into it on Friday.

I think this is a major problem for Linux games with NEWT.  Xset is a solution, but it means that you can't just distribute the game as a jar.  Do you maybe know if jinput can be used for the keyboard with NEWT?  That would be an alternative, though I'd rather have NEWT "fixed" :)

All the best,
Max
