Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kaffeine
Edgy, Gnome.
Enable sticky keys (a keyboard accessibility feature). Watch a movie
with kaffeine. After a few seconds, your shift key becomes "locked".
This causes unexpected behavior where the keyboard and mouse seems to
react strangely without apparent reason (until you realize that the
shift key is locked).
I guess the reason for the bug is the following: in order to prevent the
screensaver from starting, kaffeine simulates the repeated press of the
shift key. But, with sticky keys, pressing the shift key twice locks the
shift key.
Kaffeine should therefore use another technique to disable the
screensaver. The current techique interferes with sticky keys.
