Re: [orca-list] Prevent Orca from eating keys while in a kvm guest

[Nick Wood <nick microlitesoftware co uk>]

Hi Jeremy,

Bit of a long shot, but are you using Wayland on your Linux host?

I know there was a bug in Wayland to do with keyboard interception when 
working in a virtual machine.

The solution for me was to switch back to X.

However, I use VMWare not KVM - but it could well be the same issue.

Regards,

Nick
