[Bug 394949] New: Simulated Caps lock key press via XTestFakeKeyEvent is not working
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=394949 Summary: Simulated Caps lock key press via XTestFakeKeyEvent is not working Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: kyoshida@novell.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Development Created an attachment (id=218494) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=218494) a test code to toggle Caps Lock on and off (originally provided by Stefan Dirsch) A simulated Caps Lock key press makes the logical and the physical states of the Caps Lock out of sync. This causes a problem as one of OpenOffice's functionality - correct accidental use of cAPS LOCK key - relies on this feature of X. I will post a test code that demonstrates the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will post a test code that demonstrates the problem.
Well, it got posted to the top. ;-) Anyway, this test code toggled the caps lock state beautifully up until 11.0 Beta 3. I tested the code on two different machines both running 11.0 Beta 3, just to make sure it was not the hardware that caused the problem. On both machines, the test program toggled the logical state of the Caps Lock key, but the LED indicator did not get toggled. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's just the LED indicator that's not working. Toggling the logical state of the Caps Lock has always worked fine. I put it Critical because we use it to implement the "correct accidental use of Caps Lock" feature in OOo, and that feature is turned on by default for all of Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Here is what it does. Let's say you open Writer, with your Caps Lock key turned on (but you don't know it's on). Start typing a sentence e.g. "Here comes the Sun" but it comes up as hERE because of the Caps Lock. As soon as you hit space after the first word, Writer will then correct that to 'Here' and turn off the Caps Lock key. Calc, Impress and Draw all do this. You can try this with the version of OOo that ships with 11.0 Beta 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please consider subscribing to freedesktop bugzilla and take yourself into Cc of this bugreport. So you can follow the discussion closely. numlockx (same package name) still works. Therefore I assume, that the test code is no longer sufficient. :-( I hope that Lubos is willing to help you to adjust numlockx, so it will also work for Capslock. He's the author of numlockx.

Stefan, is the new numlockx code available from the factory repository, or ...? I thought I had already replied. Sure, you can find numlockx code in factory (same package name). I also attached it to the upstream bugreport.
