> When Emacs has the focus, pressing the <scroll> key (usually labelled
> "scroll lock") has no effect, i.e., if scroll-lock was enabled at that
> moment, it remains enabled (and vice-versa).
>
> If I select another application, then the above problem disappears,
> i.e., I can't switch on/off the scroll-lock setting.
