[orca-list] Caps Lock Issue

[Alastair Irving <alastair irving sjc ox ac uk>]

Hi All

Firstly, many thanks for realising that it was webvissum causing the 
problem with firefox not saving page position, (I'd never have thought 
about disabling it).

Secondly, in my email last week I mentioned a problem I was having with 
caps lock when using laptop layout.  I thought the problem was that it 
wasn't being announced when toggled, but Will pointed out to me that it 
shouldn't be being toggled at all.  Thus my description of the problem 
was wrong, the actual problem is:

1. When I start orca, the caps lock is purely the orca key, (which is 
what's supposed to happen).
2.  If I switch to a text console and then back to gnome, pressing the 
caps lock key actually toggles caps lock, even if I'm using it in 
conjunction with something else as an orca shortcut.  Clearly this 
shouldn't be happening.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it a peculiarity of my X setup? 
The only thing I have noticed is that in the console from which I 
started X, there is a message "dropping master", whenever I switch away 
from X, and "setting master", when I switch back to it.  I don't know if 
this is normal, or even what master it is referring to.  I also get the 
feeling that there is an increased chance of Orca crashing once I've 
switched to a text console and back, although this may just be coincidental.

I'm running orca 2.26.3 on an arch linux system.



Best wishes
