If the same phrase is attempted a second time, it seems that the input device becomes non-responsive and can only be resolved by switching to a virtual terminal (outside of GNOME) to kill the misbehaving autokey-gtk process. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : autokey-gtk Arch : noarch Version : 0.90.4 Release : 4.fc20 Size : 438 k Repo : installed >From repo : fedora How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a autokey phrase that uses Paste using Clipboard (Ctrl+V) 2. Type the phrase's abbreviation Actual results: Abbreviation is erased by no output appears. Expected results: Abbreviation is erased and phrase appears. Additional info: If multiple attempts are performed, the keyboard stops responding to key input and you are left with no keyboard input device. To resolve this, you must switch to a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and perform a killall autokey-gtk as the user who started the autokey process. This was also reported for Ubuntu in Launchpad - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autokey/+bug/1075429 The root cause of this issue is identified by the following stack: 2014-04-21 11:47:09,832 DEBUG - interface - Sending string: u'some text that should be pasted\n' ERROR:interface:Error in X event loop thread Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/autokey/interface.py", line 116, in __eventLoop method(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/autokey/interface.py", line 500, in __sendStringClipboard self.__fillClipboard(string) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/autokey/interface.py", line 537, in __fillClipboard self.clipBoard.set_text(string.encode("utf-8")) TypeError: set_text() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given) After this issue occurred, I had to terminate autokey which resulted in the following abrt report: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/415062/ It is important to note that the abrt report wasn't actually triggered by the hang but instead by killing the process because it became unresponsive.

The apparent fix was provided in attachment 1036421 and seems reasonable to me. Is this package no longer maintained? It looks like the upstream has not seen a release since 2012. Additionally, someone has ported to Python 3. 0.93.7 contains this fix as well. Seems like it was introduced as part of the Python 3 port in https://github.com/autokey- py3/autokey/commit/7bbb17c634b65cbc417b1d56e862ea3f94a27b83. Problem is that the port appears to be missing the GTK specific launcher autokey- gtk. If we can not get this fixed, I suggest that the package be removed as it can break GNOME if installed and clipboard feature is used.
