Description of problem: Alex4 loads and launches fine. But the main menu starts scrolling immediately... arrow keys do not function. If you hit enter (at the right moment), you can launch into the game... but the arrow keys do not work here either. Tried mouse, mouse buttons, numeric keypad (numlock on/off), function keys. ESC does work to exit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alex4-1.0-20.fc26.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens every time I launch the game. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch alex4. 2.Try to select a menu item. 3.Hit enter until you get lucky and enter the game. Try to move the character. Actual results: Main menu is not operable. Arrow indicator moves on its own (as if the up key were permanently pressed down). Expected results: Working menu that responds to arrow keys. Working game. Additional info: KDE (plasma). Microsoft PS2 keyboard. Also tried generic USB keyboard...same problem. Music is cool, tho.
Hi, Weird, I've just tested this under gnome3 using both X11 and Wayland sessions and it works fine for me. The problem might be related to the fullscreen handling, can you try creating a ~/.alex4/alex4.ini with the following in there: [graphics] fullscreen = 0 And then try the game again? Regards, Hans
Great idea! I didn't know it read an ini file. Tried this out and the game started in a windowed mode (good), but same behavior was apparent. The arrow in the menu screen moves continuously from bottom to top. X11, KDE/Plasma. Multi-seat system (running this on seat0). Same behavior on other seats. This is only application I know of on this system that behaves this way. Other games / applications (browsers, terminal, etc) are working fine. Maelstrom comes up in the same windowed mode and plays fine. Weird indeed! Thanx for the help!

Can you try the "worminator" game? That is another game using the allegro gaming lib.
