http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500422 Summary: Sticky Keys gets deactivated automatically Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: greatquizzard@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.9) Gecko/2009041500 SUSE/3.0.9-0.1.1 Firefox/3.0.9 If Sticky Keys is enabled as an accessibility option, it gets deactivated on its own automatically after some time. This bug is probably in the package 'at-spi'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Computer > More Applications > System > Assistive Technologies. 2. Check the box 'Enable assistive technologies'. 3. Click on 'Keyboard Accessibility'. 4. Check the box next to 'Simulate simultaneous keypresses'. However, do NOT check the box next to 'Disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed together'. Actual Results: Sticky Keys is activated for a while. After a few minutes, it stops working. If you try to separately press, say, Shift and then a letter, it won't simulate simultaneous keypresses. Expected Results: Sticky Keys should be activated across all sessions unless user turns off this assistive technology. Try this: 1. Start gconf-editor (Configuration Editor). 2. Go to /desktop/gnome/accessibility 3. I had enabled Sticky Keys from Keyboard preferences before starting gconf-editor. I found that stickykeys_enable was checked. stickykeys_modifier_beep was checked. stickykeys_two_key_off was also checked. This is important, because I had specifically not enabled this option from Keyboard Preferences. Nevertheless, it was checked. I unchecked this, and set value for timeout to an extremely large value (24000). Since then, Sticky Keys has been working fine. So I guess it's some issue with 'Disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed together' being active when it shouldn't be, right? Another thing. Set timeout to a value other than 120, and then check / uncheck any other Sticky Keys related gconf option. The timeout will get reset to 120. Is this expected behavior or a bug? (If it's the latter, should I file a new bug for this?) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
