Hi,

this bug was first discovered on the Openmoko FreeRunner [1], but it
happens on my sid-amd64 with Openbox, too.

The following test was performed firstly pressing "<" and then ">".

- physical keyboard:

  =====
  KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    root 0x68, subw 0xa00420, time 46952966, (5,47), root:(6,441),
    state 0x1, keycode 59 (keysym 0x3c, less), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 94
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

  [...]

  KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    root 0x68, subw 0xa00420, time 46954089, (5,47), root:(6,441),
    state 0x1, keycode 60 (keysym 0x3e, greater), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

- matchbox-keyboard:

  =====
  KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
    root 0x68, subw 0x0, time 52374144, (87,-244), root:(418,185),
    state 0x101, keycode 94 (keysym 0x3e, greater), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 60
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

  [...]

  KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
    root 0x68, subw 0x0, time 52374187, (87,-244), root:(418,185),
    state 0x0, keycode 94 (keysym 0x3c, less), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

  [...]

  KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
    root 0x68, subw 0x0, time 52376080, (107,-240), root:(438,189),
    state 0x101, keycode 60 (keysym 0x3e, greater), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
    XFilterEvent returns: False
  =====

Simply unsetting keycode 94 with `xmodmap -e 'keycode 94 = '` solves the
issue.

Thx, bye,

I have now.  It doesn't work.

I've also tried building and debugging the Debian source on my
GNU/Linux x86 box, but I can't get the problem to reproduce there.
Sorry!

I uploaded a new version of matchbox-keyboard to unstable today (from
upstream SVN).

Please test if that clears up this bug for you.

Thanks,

Hi Moray!

The bug is fixed on both my Openmoko FreeRunner and laptop (tested with
UK, US and Dvorak layouts), thus I closed the bug.

Thx, bye,
