Screen Snapshot Of Accessibity Options Menu.
SUMMARY
Accessibility Sticky-Keys Becoming Disabled At Random At Times
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Execute Accessibility either by:
a). Typing in the first couple of letters of the command to search for on
the KDE desktop, such as: "access". When the Accessibility command appears high
lighted, press the enter key to execute it.
b). From the System Settings menu select Desktop Behavior and then
Accessibility.
2. When the Accessibility Options menu appears, click on the "Modifier Keys"
section.
3. Click on the "Use sticky keys" category to enable sticky keys.
4. Make sure the "Lock sticky keys" and "Turn sticky keys off when two keys are
pressed simultaneously" options are unchecked and the "Use system bell whenever
a modifier gets latched, locked or unlocked".
5. The "Use system bell whenever a locking key gets activated or deactivated"
option can be checked or unchecked.
6. Make sure the "Use Plasma's notification mechanism for modifier or locking
key state changes" option is checked.
7. Finally click on the Apply button to apply the Sticky Key settings.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Sticky Keys function will eventually stop latching the Shift, Ctrl and Alt
keys as though the "Turn sticky keys off when two keys are pressed
simultaneously" option was checked and two keys had been pressed
simultaneously. The only way to recover the Sticky Keys function again is to
reapply Sticky Keys once again from step number 1 from the instructions above.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sticky Keys should remain to function once the options are set from the
Accessibility Options menu. Also, if the "Turn sticky keys off when two keys
are pressed simultaneously" option is unchecked, then Sticky Keys should not
become disabled if two keys are pressed simultaneously. Another cause of Sticky
Keys becoming disabled is the use of Bluetooth wireless keyboards and their
battery conserve feature of shutting down after a period of no activity may
cause Sticky Keys to turn off too and not start again with the Bluetooth
wireless keyboard.
