[comp.sys.atari.st] Weird codes from the keyboard

t19@nikhefh.UUCP (Geert J v Oldenborgh) (08/21/87)

We discovered a rather weird phenomenon in the ST keyboard.  Pressing
shift arrow left and shift arrow right in rapid succesion often 
generates the code for F11 (mark removed in my editor, STedi).  This 
also happens in the GPshell (try: set PF11='echo 1+1=3').  A little 
program showed that the wrong code is always the second one to come in.  

Does anybody know what goes wrong, and better still, how to correct it ?

     That happens to me too!!  Only it never happened with the shift key and an
arrow key, it usually resulted with TWO letters being hit at the same time, and
sometimes it would generate one of the Function keys, but not F1.
