Keyboard problem in Linux

I'm trying to move the EditCell up/down through rows within a listbox using the up/down keys. The code below ( in CellKeyDown Event of the listbox ) works great in Windows but crashes in Linux if the user holds an up/down key too long or repeatedly presses one of the keys too soon. I suspect it has something to do with the keyboard buffer but, as I said, it works perfectly in Windows.

// Use arrow keys to scroll the editcell up/down
// through rows in listbox.

Select Case asc(key)
  
Case 30 ' move to previous row (up key)
  if row>0 then
    row=row-1
    me.EditCell(row,column)
  else
    Return true
  end
  
Case 31 ' move to next row (down key)
  if row<me.ListCount-1 then
    row=row+1
    me.EditCell(row,column)
  else
    Return true
  end
end

Anyone know if this is a bug in RB or just a slow OS handling of the keyboard buffer?

sorry man, i can't reproduce the problem.
I'm developing on Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 w/ Gnome

are you able to catch the error?

Thanks for the reply! I'm on Debian 3.4.2 - Ubuntu 12.04-32 bit, Kernel Linux 3.2.0.37. Can't catch the error because the IDE or app simply disappears when the error occurs.

I may send it in as a possible bug just to see if RS can duplicate the problem.

Thanks again
