Event Problems in SFML

Hi forum. I've been putting together a small 2d space game, and I recently decided to switch from using SDL to SFML. However, I'm having a little bit of trouble getting my event handling to work. This is a little bit of code I threw together to get a handle on various features in SFML before I move my project over. The relevant code looks like this: [source lang="cpp"]while (Program.GetEvent(Event)); { switch (Event.Type) { case sf::Event::Closed: Program.Close(); break; case sf::Event::KeyPressed: if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key:) Velocity.x = .01; if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::A) Velocity.x = 0; break; case sf::Event::KeyReleased: if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key:) Velocity.x = .01; if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::A) Velocity.x = 0; break; } }[/source] Now, the weird part about this is that the KeyPressed case only seems to fire when the shift, alt or control keys are pressed, which not what I had gathered from the documentation. I put the velocity changes in both places to test out what exactly was happening, and as mentioned above, it only correctly applies the changes on the KeyReleased event. I would really like to know why the KeyPressed event just doesn't seem to be firing as expected.

I missed your mention of both velocities. Sorry.

As for the text event, I've never encountered that using SFML. Perhaps I should just skip the wait and go for 2.0.
