Guys,

For your information what I have found here is a (very recently) known 
problem in 1.7.x on MSWin32. So it sounds like FR users on Windows 
will have to wait a bit more to see a fully working FR.

I guess it also impact the addInput() method in FXRuby but I'm 
speaking under the control of Lyle here.

My bug submission is at:
 http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/ruby-bugs/incoming?id=401

Nobu Nakada posted a comment at the and but I'm not sure if this is a 
workaround that I can use in FR or if he is commenting on how things 
can be fixed internally in Ruby. Any idea?

That's it for now... and IO on Win32 really sucks :-(
