How to make Shift+CursorLeft marking a Text inside a TextWidget under
SuseLinux ?

It works under Windows, and it also Works using Ubuntu. But under Suse
it isn't posible to select text using the SHIFT key.

Any Tipps to get this running ?

THX

This should definitely work. I've never heard of this failing before, and
since you see it work on Ubuntu, I would guess that something's set up
different/wrong on your suse install. Does Shift+Arrow work in other
gtk-based apps (eg.- gedit) on that machine?
