Does this happen with a real Atari keyboard connected?

Scancodes with the upper bit set are break-codes. These should not be
visible to applications. Sounds like a bug in XaAES or the kernel to me.
I have problems with some missing break-codes on my Milan, I've always
thought it was a problem with my keyboard interface but with some luck I
can put the blame elsewhere ;-)

Please send me your Index.grp so I can have a look at it. Taskbar 4.12
works fine with your XaAES on my Milan.

The start-menu in Taskbar is a plain menu_popup() with submenus. Lars:
If you have any other program with cascading popups, please try one and
see if you can reproduce this problem.

If this problem only occurs with Eiffels, then I don't see the point in
fixing it in MiNT.
