Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
(This is probably not a bug with the control panel as such but I'm not sure which package is responsible for the behaviour.) To reproduce: 0- add the AccessX keyboard status applet to a panel so that you can observe the shift key state 1- open Keyboard preferences 2- tick 'Simulate Simultaneous Keypresses' 3- observe that you can now press shift, release shift, press a and you will get a "A" as if the keys had been pressed together - this is working correctly 4- in firefox press Ctrl, release Ctrl (you'll see it lit in the accessx applet) then click with the mouse on a link What does happen: The link opens in a new tab, but the Ctrl state remains lit. What should happen: The link should open in a new tab and then the Ctrl modifier should turn off. The first mouse release should release the sticky key (unless it's in the locked double-pressed state), just as the first keypress does. The problem is not specific to firefox - you can also observe it when for example alt-dragging a window or shift-selecting a region.
