** Description changed: - HARDY AMD64 + HARDY AMD64 and i386 REFERS ALSO TO FEISTY i386 and GUTSY i386 Microsoft Wireless Multi-media Keyboard 1.0A PACAKAGE: according to xprop | grep WM_CLASS: gnome-at-properties However the package appears not to be known in the "Which package..." selection I set Assistive Technologies Preferences>Keyboard Accessibility/Keyboard Preferences: Allow to turn accessibility features on and off from the keyboard - NOT TICKED Simulate simultaneous keypress - ticked Disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed together - NOT TICKED Notifications: Beep when accessibility features are turned on or off - ticked Beep when a toggle key is pressed - ticked Beep when a modifier key is pressed - ticked. These settings work as expecteded EXCEPT: pressing Caps Lock DOES NOT BEEP - it should BUT pressing a modifier key and another key at the same time TURNS OFF THESE SETTINGS - it shouldn't as Disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed together is NOT TICKED. I can not express strongly enough how grossly inconvenient the latter is. All settings have to be re-done dozens of times a day. Nor can I express strongly enough how alienated bugs in Accessibility/Assistive Technologies make us who need them, feel. Please, please can Accessibilty features be fixed - this bug I am reporting has been with Ubuntu since I first used it (Edgy). You will never get 'importance' high on this by numbers or by reports such is the ratio of users. But thinking beyond numbers - does Ubuntu want to ignore or embrace those who need these features?
