Re: Catching the arrow keys

[Oscar Lazzarino <oscar lazzarino gmail com>]

Key events are propagated from childern up to parents, up to the first
widget whose on_key_press_event returns "true"

You probably have some widget in your window that manages arrows keys
(i.e. returns "true") but does not manage the esc key (ie returns
"false").
