Re: [orca-list] Problem with Orca modifier keyon Ubuntu Karmic



Hi Kyle:

I haven't seen this, but I just forwarded your message to the Ubuntu
Accessibility List <ubuntu-accessibility lists ubuntu com> in case
someone there has seen and/or fixed the issue.

As a question for you -- which key are you using as the Orca modifier
key?  If it's the Caps_Lock key, I wonder if we might be running into an
issue with the key still behaving like a locking modifier.

Just a matter of hours before the release of Ubuntu Karmic, I am 
experiencing a problem with Orca and its modifier key. At times the 
modifier key doesn't work at all, but most of the time, and even worse, 
the key is stuck, and I'm not even pressing it. In other words, simply 
pressing the space bar opens the preferences window and pressing just h 
puts Orca in learn mode. I started having this problem yesterday, and 
nothing has been updated since then. Is there still time to fix this or 
is there something I need to do to work around this problem? At the 
present time, my modifier key isn't working at all, and neither does the 
keypad seem to work as expected. If I restart the computer, the modified 
functions will be working normally, except that Orca will behave as if 
the modifier is held down even if it isn't. And holding down the 
modifier key gives unpredictable results, while releasing the key 
returns it to the pressed state again. Note that this occurs whether in 
desktop mode using the insert key or in laptop mode using the caps lock. 
Also, I can confirm that this isn't a keyboard issue, since I have tried 
two different keyboards with the exact same result.

Thanks for any help,
Kyle
