Hi,

I have now tried this on an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OSX 10.5.8, with ROOT v.5.26.00 and the latest X11 package (2.4.0 from the XQuartz macosforge). The problem is still there, so I think you are right that it is related to
the (Norwegian) keyboard.

Thanks for all the help and testing!

Cheers,
Cecilie
