I have no idea what causes your problem.

But there is a workaround:

run "xev".
Focus the new window with your mouse.
Now hit the cursorkeys, and note down the keycodes you get.

Now create or edit a file /root/.Xmodmap (don't forget the point).

Add these lines, with your own keycodes:

Code: Select all

keycode 114 = Right
keycode 100 = Left
keycode 113 =	Up
keycode 112 =	Down

In puppy 1 I once had, that these code changed after a while, so I had to re-run this procedure once.
Never found out why

Thankyou Mark

Didn't use your wokaround but printed it out for future ref

I ran xorg and the problem went away
