Hi,

Just a little remark, it seems like you did hit reply to on a previous
mail instead of new. This breaks following mails in threading mode.

Great.

I don't understand what you are willing to do here.

This is obviously a bug, this is the first time it is reported to me.
Probably an issue in GTK itself, I don't see what we can do in GCompris
itself, at least we should track the keycodes to understand what's going
on. BTW, I don't plan to work on this soon, not the priority.
