Windows XP server |
Using shift+the cursor keys to select text does not work. If you are using a
Unix/X viewer, avoid using right shift with cursor keys since this gets the
server into an odd state, which can only be recovered from by closing and
restarting the application being used.
|
Use the mouse to select text |
