Apparantly not. I have applied the fix and it is still happening to me. This 
may rank up there as the most annoying OS/2 but I have experienced. I have 
tried going back one version of ibmkbd.sys. This had no affect. I may try 
using the kbd.sys from the beta II next. Of course, this may not be related 
to this driver at all, it may be something else; but it is a start.

If anyone figures out the answer, PLEASE post it!!
