Bug ID: 506078
Summary: Flat review modifier keys in Orca cause character
insertion in KDE Plasma
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.0
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: aaron.graham.hew...@gmail.com
CC: duha.b...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings -> Accessibility -> Screen Reader.
2. Enable the Screen Reader checkbox to start Orca.
3. Click the "Launch Screen Reader Configuration" button to open Orca’s
preferences.
4. In the General tab, set Keyboard Layout to Laptop (this makes Caps Lock the
Orca modifier key).
5. Focus a text field or any application that accepts keyboard input.
6. Use flat review commands, such as Caps Lock + U or Caps Lock + O.
OBSERVED RESULT
The flat review navigation sometimes occurs as expected, but the corresponding
character (e.g., "u", "o") is also typed into the focused field. This happens
with multiple flat review keys when using Caps Lock as the Orca modifier.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only the flat review command should be triggered. Characters associated with
the pressed key should not be inserted into the application or text field.
