Hello All,

First of all I'd like to congratulate the developers of DOS box.
It's been great being able to run Turbo Pascal again on my Mac!

I've noticed a small bug with the OSX 0.65 version.

If you keep your finger on the 'a' key it types an 'a' character once and then turns into '+'. I'm using a Powerbook G4 laptop but I also get the same error when I plug in an Apple keyboard via USB.

Anyway, I thought I'd just report this to see if anyone else gets the same error.
Many thanks,

Phil2

Does it repeat the + sign? How does it behave when you
set usescancodes=false in dosbox.conf if you didn't already?

The + did repeat but after I tried your set usescancodes=false suggestion it works fine.

Thank you very much!

I thought osx had it disabled by default...
Anyways, the character turning into a + is a bit odd, have to look into this
but i don't really see any reason why it should change at the moment.
