Yes, that problem are i familliar with and i also mentioned it in my first message.
-Gnumeric is the only program for me: which dont remember the shiftkeys, and it is only the first key it forgets, the rest is remembered as they should.

But, in gnumeric then the enter-key do work, but gnumeric is designed to let it have a different function than a normal newline. so it must be read differently and therefore i cant tell if it is the same problem there.

However i have read somewhere that certain programs requires shift+enter to work as enter.

.....

I changed forth and back between different langages and keyboards and it didnt make any difference in gnumeric :/
