SYMPTOMS
When Microsoft QuickBasic Version 4.50 is running on an IBM PS/2 Model 50 or 60, the following key sequences fail if the NUM LOCK key is on:


 * 1) ALT+BACKSPACE fails to UNDO editing (i.e., pressing the BACKSPACE key while holding down the ALT key).
 * 2) ALT+[-] or ALT+[+] fails to size the window (i.e., pressing &quot;+&quot; or &quot;-&quot; while holding down the ALT key).

If the NUM LOCK key is off, the above key strokes perform as documented.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Version 4.50. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
