[Bug 1245662] Re: Sticky Keys not released after mouse action.
I am concerned that Xorg 1.16 has not made it into 14.10 yet. Can this be prioritized? The current 14.04 LTS version does not contain the fix, therefore disabled users are still on 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245662 Title: Sticky Keys not released after mouse action.

[Bug 1245662] Re: Sticky Keys not released after mouse action.
Is it too late to get this fix into the 14.04 LTS release? I hate to see an LTS release without this critical accessibility fix. In fact, it is only because the previous LTS release (12.04) had proper accessibility that I was able to revert to that version when this issue cropped up. If an LTS release gets out the door without this accessibility fix, any other accessibility issues that crop up in any of the next few Ubuntu versions will be absolute showstoppers. Telling people to "Just use that latest LTS release until your issue is resolved" won't be valid due to accessibility issues in the LTS version itself! Is it reasonable to expect that accessibility issues would be a priority in an LTS release? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245662 Title: Sticky Keys not released after mouse action.

Additionally, Sticky Keys has a Lock feature which does not automatically release the 'stuck modifier', but rather waits until the user presses the modifier key again to release it. In recent XKB releases on all popular Linux distros (since about the beginning of year 2013) the 'Lock' feature is broken. It is _always_enabled_ for the mouse, and _always_disabled_ for the keyboard, regardless of whether or not the configuration option is enabled. What are the conditions for considering an issue high priority? Users with Accessibility issues can no longer use the current Linux distros, does that quality for high priority? I'm still stuck on Kubuntu 12.10 due to this issue as I have a manual disability. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Sticky Keys (In KDE: System Settings -> Accessibility -> Modifier Keys ; In Gnome: Settings -> Accessibility -> Some tab with keyboard/typing) 2. Enable "Use sticky keys" and disable "Lock sticky keys". Now test: In Kmail, click Ctrl then click a mail in the Message List Pane to select it. Now click on a second mail and notice that it too is selected. Now a third. Actual Results: All the mails are added to the selection. Expected Results: One would expect that with the "Lock sticky keys" checkbox disabled that the Ctrl button would be released after clicking a single mail. With "Lock sticky keys" disabled the expected workflow to select multiple mails is to either press the Ctrl button after each mail or to hold it down. Note that this issue affects all modifier keys in all applications. This is most annoying when using Shift- or Ctrl- MouseScroll i.e. in Firefox as the modifier is not release when expected. This is also a serious accessibility issue for disabled users (such as myself).

It causes all sorts of unexpected behaviour - just imagine your control or shift keys being pressed when you aren't expecting it. Virtual desktops flipping, emails deleted instead of moved to trash are but 2 of many issues. It's most notable in my text editor. Shift click to highlight text, then ctrl+c (which is now shift+ctrl+c as shift was not released by the mouse click as expected) then ctrl+v and it pastes the wrong thing because the copy operation didn't do what was expected. This bug apparently affects all disabled users across all DEs. As mentioned, some users are forced to remain on old and soon to be unsupported versions in order to avoid the problem.

I'll not update the BIOS on this machine for unrelated reasons. For one thing, this is obviously not a BIOS issue, so I suspect that comment #28 was an automated reply and not a real attempt at resolving this issue. Additionally, I can verify the issue on all six computers that I've tested on (home computer, work computer, mother-in-law's computer, a neighbour who uses Kubuntu, and two co-workers who use Kubuntu and Ubuntu). These are all different systems. Furthermore, Rob Rosenbaum has confirmed the issue in this bug and others have confirmed the issue in other forums. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245662 Title: Sticky Keys not released after mouse action.

dotancohen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue?
