I have had issues similar to this, I found it was solved by switching off compositing, as compiz was grabbing various sets of keystrokes before they could get to the application.
Thanks for the hint.
In my case, it is not compiz grabbing anything. I'm using fluxbox as window manager without any compositing at all.

This is > really annoying. No idea, sorry. But I experience similar problems and I may add some more details. When I start pd, I usually can type tilde characters. After switching to another application and then back to Pd, I can't type tildes anymore in Pd. And there seems to be no way to restore tilde-typing ability until I restart Pd. Actually, it is not only the tilde character, but all characters of the same key cannot be typed anymore (^,`,~). On a Swiss German layout it is the key left of back space. After the problem has been triggered, [keyname] still shows the correct characters, while [key] only outputs 0 for ^, ` and ~. This problem occurs only on one of two machines with similar setup: #1: Ubuntu 14.04 i386, Pd 0.46.6 from git, Intel graphics driver -> Problem can be triggered #2: Ubuntu 14.04 i383, Pd 046.6 from git, Nvidia proprietary driver -> Problem cannot be triggered I mention graphics drivers specifically, because there were some reports about Pd crashing X11 while typing in certain Ubuntu setups with Intel drivers. Maybe this problem is related. Roman _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
