Hi,

First off, many thanks to the developers of this awesome software, I've
been using it for almost 2 decades!

My issue is that within the last ~week, the backspace and delete keys
stopped working in GnuCash.  I've not seen the same problem in any other
application (I'm running gnucash 2.6.12, via the MATE flavor of Ubuntu
16.04).

Some of the things I've attempted to figure out/solve (none have worked).
1. Restarting gnucash/reboot computer
2. Start a new file gnucash file
3. Deleted ~/.gnucash before starting gnucash
4. Monitored the keyboard events via 'evtest'.  It can see correct key
presses, but they still aren't making it to/being recognized by gnucash

I'm not even exactly sure this is a gnucash problem, but wasn't sure where
else to start.

I'm really at a loss to why this is happening, so _any_ suggestions would
be greatly appreciated!

mike
