Ubuntu

Hi all,
I installed Pharo on a linux box yesterday.
Some very strange mouse behaviour. In my workspace whenever I left clicked it selected an area and then after minimising and maximising it instead just bought up the System menu.

I had downloaded the VM and sources file but for image and changes I used a file that I have been working on previously in Windows. Is that the problem?

maybe you meant 'right-clicking'?

just go to settings and change the 'swap mouse buttons' setting.
See if it can help.

I have noticed similar strange mouse menu behaviour when CAPS LOCK is on. This is the same with Squeak. I am using both on Linpus, a Fedora derivative. Could this be your problem? I used to get very frustrated and wondered about image corruption. Then I kicked myself to see the little CAPS LOCK light!

Re: Ubuntu

hehheheheh seems everybody have the same problem. I feel less alone now ;)
I remember....it was already 2 years ago...but still today, when something weird happens in my image, I look the caps lock light hehehehehe

BTW, maybe we should add an entry in the FAQ ? If so, please prepare one and we include it.

cheers

Search for: "disable caps lock in linux"

Plenty of sites tell you how-to, including for Ubuntu.

Re: Ubuntu

It's not caps lock. I think it went wrong when I used the Collapse all windows menu item.
Now I can see a number of open windows as icons. Left or right clicking the icon brings up the World menu.
I can open a new browser or workspace but if I minimise them then I can't get back.
I can also click Expand all windows in the Windows menu and each window flashes into place before being minimised again.
Tres etrange!
