OK, can you tell whether this problem was introduced between Aquamacs  
1.2 and 1.3rc1 or in Leopard? (Suspect the latter.)

What's your keyboard configuration?
I couldn't reproduce your problem on a MacbookPro with the default  
keyboard settings.

Are you using a special system-wide keyboard binding for your keyboard?

The function key support is quite the hack (I accept the blame),  
because there isn't or wasn't support for it coming from the OS. It  
will, for instance, fail on non-English keyboard layouts, even though  
up/down should be just the same on the German keyboard that you're  
presumably using.

As a workaround, you can always re-bind the keys.
