Bug ID: 375419
Summary: KDE accessibility dialogue appears at inappropriate
times
Product: qaccessibilityclient
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: gladh...@kde.org
Reporter: 0neiltk....@chiark.greenend.org.uk
Target Milestone: ---
I can reproduce this problem with a guest session, so it isn't due to a
particularly strange configuration.
1. Start a KDE session
2. Open System settings and go to Desktop Behavior/Accessibility
3. On the Activation Gestures tab, disable "Use gestures for activating
sticky keys and slow keys".
4. Enable "Show a confirmation dialog whenever a keyboard accessibility
feature is toggled".
5. Open an xterm (not konsole)
6. Run this command to ring the terminal bell: perl -e 'print pack("C",7)'
7. A dialogue appears reading 'Do you really want to activate "Slow keys",
"Bounce keys", and "Mouse keys"?'
8. Select "Deactivate all AccessX features and gestures".
9. Press the "No" button to close the dialog.
10. Run the command to ring the terminal bell: perl -e 'print pack("C",7)'
11. The dialogue appears again.
I would expect the system bell to be rung without generating a dialogue.
Step 6 can be replaced by pressing the backspace key or tab twice or a variety
of other actions which cause xterm to ring the bell.
A workaround for this bug is to disable the confirmation dialog which was
enabled in step 4. I don't think there's any side-effect of the workaround.
