There's no such problem on my system, AFAICT, so the problem seems different to me. > > So at this level, it *should* return KP-delete.

Not here : $ xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *91' keycode 91 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal KP_Delete KP_Decimal KP_Delete KP_Decimal Still it stopped working as expected in gnucash some time ago. > > I finally found that gnome keyboard configuration had a setting for > this.

I was using the default settings already, but with different results that yours, it seems : Ubuntu vs Debian difference, or another settings that changes the behaviour ? > When the setting is set to "Four-level key with abstract > separators" (Touche à quatre niveaux avec séparateurs abstraits), then > the key sends KP-delete again, which can be seen in gnucash, with xev > and with xmodmap. This time, when setting this new option, I get : $ xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *91' keycode 91 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal KP_Delete KP_Decimal KP_Separator U202F And nothing happens then when inside gnumeric : the key becomes unresponsive. Maybe we don't have the same keyboard layout selected which explains such differences in behaviour. Mine is apparently : "France (Obsolète) Autre", for whatever reason (seems the default value : strange that the default ain't plain "France" instead) ... Anyway, I managed to activate one of the modifying options for that key so that it produces a comma, and that's enough for me as I use it only in gnumeric. Thanks for the tips. I think this should work out of the box, i.e. with default settings as used to, so, the bug remains, IMHO. Other opinions ?
