Exceed's X server has a serious bug, where it hijacks the keybarod handling of your entire computer, making it behave as if Ctrl is always held down; eg in a text editor, large chunks of text are forcibly selected; alt-tab moves backward, not forward, through the open applications list. The mouse is also adversely affected. There was a post to http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=38157&p=3&topicID=3207992&subForumID=77627&topicPage= but that seems to be closed now. Once, pressing cltr, windows-key and F cleared the problem, but other times I had to reboot completely. Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for this? Any help very much appreciated.
Run the registry editor, go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\R2d2KernelAuthority\Parameters key and edit the _NeverSubClassPrograms value (create a REG_MULTI_SZ value if it doesn't exist yet; you can use the NeverSubClassPrograms as a template); add the *\Exceed.exe line).
Restart your computer.
PS: I close a thread when I don't have any answer after a few days.
This bug only manifested when in Tokyo office where network had high latency (contacting emacs at server in eastern US), so cannot reproduce, unfortunately.
