I checked the FXRuby mailing list archives, and found where you posted this question on the FXRuby list (around the beginning of last month). I'm sorry you didn't get any helpful responses, but I don't see that anyone suggested that it was "a Ruby matter". It is most likely a FOX-related issue, and has something to do with how FOX translates (or doesn't translate) those keypresses before sending out the SEL_KEYPRESS and SEL_KEYRELEASE messages. FXRuby doesn't do any manipulation of those results; it just passes through whatever the FOX library generates. You might have better luck asking on the FOX mailing list.
