Bug ID: 471063 Summary: Apps launched from calc key breaks num lock/number pad use Classification: I don't know Product: kde Version: unspecified Platform: Kubuntu OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: roy-orbit...@devo.net.au Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When I launch apps from my Calculator key (keycode 148, keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), they either don't run or behave as if Num Lock is off STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use keyboard with a Calculator key 2. Go to System Settings > Shortcuts and assign that key to launch an app (I used KCalc), it should show as "Launch (1)" 3. Ensure Num Lock is on 4. Press the Calc key OBSERVED RESULT Depends on app, will not launch, or launches but does not accept numeric keys, e.g. `.` behaves as Del. EXPECTED RESULT Normal launch, numeric keys produce input. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I normally have that button assigned to launch KCalc. I have Num Lock on all the time, including at boot, and haven't noticed any problems with other apps respecting number pad keys/num lock, generally. It occurs only from that type of launch; if I set and use a different shortcut, e.g. the Pause key or Ctrl + Alt + K, or launch it from KRunner or the main apps menu, it's fine. If I switch to another app and back, or toggle Num Lock off and on, the app respects Num Lock again. I tested by assigning the Calc button to launch KCharSelect. It assigns okay, but won't launch the app. The same occurs if I set it to launch Kate. Assigning it to launch Emoji Selector produces similar behaviour to Kcalc, e.g. 2, 4, 6, & 8 move the selection highlight the same way dedicated arrow keys do. I wonder if it's somehow related to bug 433645, though I am able to assign shortcuts with it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
