Bug ID: 400074 Summary: Accessibility Sticky-Keys Becoming Disabled At Random At Times Product: systemsettings Version: 5.8.7 Platform: openSUSE RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_accessibility Assignee: gun...@schmi-dt.de Reporter: dasm...@electronicaidesdesign.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 115785 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=115785&action=edit 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.
