Package: tvtime Version: 1.0.2-0.3+b1 Severity: normal
When tvtime is running, Shift_L KeyPress and KeyRelease events are generated every 30 seconds. They pop up in the window with the keyboard focus. This is very annoying when doing work in parallel to running tvtime. For example, when searching backwards in a file with vim, the search direction is silently reversed, though the physical Shift_L key is pressed all the time. (vim searches backward with the 'N' character and forward with the 'n' character.) Or, when typing an all upper case symbol, the case changes to lower case in the middle of the symbol, though the physical Shift_L key is pressed all the time. These effects feel like being random due to their 30 seconds interval. The most obvious way to see the problem is to start the utility 'xev'. Activate the xev window to give it the keyboard focus. When tvtime is running, you can see the events appearing every 30 seconds. When you stop tvtime, the events stop to appear. If you start tvtime again, the events happen again. I do not run a desktop environment. I run a plain icewm and start tvtime from it. The problem is not related to the latest Linux kernel. I had it with former kernels too. I cannot claim that it is a bug in tvtime. But I notice the problem only when tvtime is running, so there seems to be some relation at least. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tvtime depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.17 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.2.2-4 GCC support library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.2.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.30.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii libxtst6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii libxv1 1:1.0.3-1 X11 Video extension library ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.1-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii ttf-freefont 20060501cvs-12 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii ucf 3.004 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-8 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tvtime recommends: pn xmltv-util <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: * tvtime/norm: PAL tvtime/setuid: false tvtime/v4ldevice: /dev/video0 tvtime/frequencies-jp: tvtime/vbidevice: /dev/vbi0 tvtime/processpriority: -10 * tvtime/frequencies-pal: Europe tvtime/frequencies-ntsc: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
