Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd Version: 1:1.2.2-3 Severity: normal After the recent big Xorg update, I started getting mysterious failures while typing quickly a password, which contains the sequence "xA". It turned out that if I start holding down left shift very quickly after typing "x", the following characters will not be uppercase. This also works with the letters z, c, and v but not, for example, b.
Everything works fine outside X, and used to work before the upgrade to Xorg 7.3. Only the left shift key is affected. The bug can be seen in xev. When I press and release "x" quickly, then quickly press and hold shift, the shift event takes a moment (0.5-1 sec) to register. If I press "a" while holding the shift key before the shift event registers, it will register as a lowercase "a" and the shift event will not arrive at all before I release the shift. If I try the same with e.g. "b", then the shift event registers immediately. This is on a ThinkPad T60, whose keyboard the KDE control center indentifies as "IBM ThinkPad S60Z/600/600E/A22E, Intl". KDE's "Enable keyboard layouts" option is off, however. The relevant section in xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "ee" EndSection Changing layouts or models doesn't help. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.3 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-kbd depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4-2 X.Org X server -- core server xserver-xorg-input-kbd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
