That is common, but then I mostly use the command line and so ls is used a lot. > Are it > certain key combinations? Not that I have noticed. > Is it only at certain positions (like > the second key on a new line)? That is the most common manifestation, e.g. missing the 'v' from 'mv', but I have also seen the problem when using longer commands. > Does it also happen in another > shell than bash (for example in 'busybox ash')? Just tried it: no, the problem was absent. > Does it also > happen in 'env -i bash --noprofile --norc'? Tried that too: again the problem disappears. Oddly, when I exited from that environment (back to regular bash) the problem did not re-appear. It re-appeared only when I logged out and then back in. > Does it happen in single-user maintenaince mode? I'm embarrased to admit I don't know how to get to that. > Does it happen when running from a liveCD? No. Thanks for your help. Roger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
