Tracing down a bug. - by lone_ranger

Ok, I am posting this here as currently the official boards are not accessible and I know that Kathode can rely if necessary.
There has been a few reports of the game wanting to delete spells when selecting spells. This happens whether ones:
--- right-click to get the menu, then select a spell to activate,
--- Tried to select a different spell with the quick keys, or
--- calling up the quick menu (F1) and trying to assign a spell.
I have tracked this down to a keyboard problem, specifically multilingual keyboard. It seems as if the Alt-char key behaves as a toggle. Pressing it once activate the delete spell behavior, pressing it again de-activate it.
I had seen that happen before on another program (News-rover) in wich case it made the v key behave as a paste (go figure) :confused:
No telling what other behavior that key produce at this time...
(WinXP pro, US version, French keyboard, French canadian keyset.)
... Probably tru of all keyboards with the ALT-Char key.
