Hi Stuart,

Win 7 Ult SP1 - Fully updated.
LO Version: 5.3.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 6cd4f1ef626f15116896b1d8e1398b56da0d0ee1
CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.1; UI Render: default; Layout
Engine: new;
Locale: en-AU (en_AU); Calc: group
Logitech K320/550 keyboard. No special mappings.


New user profile. Same lower case x result with Right Alt + x

However, for both original and new profiles _LEFT_ Alt + x works.

In other software Right Alt works as expected. Go figure?

Thanks anyway,
Dave
