Description Olivier Fisette 2004-01-04 16:40:31 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.3.2 
OS:          Linux

Whenever Numlock is activated in KDE, the KMenu does no longer open when pressing the Win key. If Numlock is deactivated, the KMenu opens normally when pressing the Win key. Activating/deactivating Numlock inside the KDE session deactivates/activates the possibility to open KMenu with the Win key.

Numlock state had no effect on other keyboard shortcuts that I definded to open the KMenu.

I have KDE set to remember the state of Numlock and restore it on startup (which does not work, but that's another bug report :)

I'm seeing this bug to.

[In response to an automatically generated mail asking to confirm if reported bugs are still valid.]

This is still present in 3.2.2. I am now using XFree86 4.3.0.
Comment 3 tom chiverton 2004-05-12 10:22:04 UTC
I'm still seeing this with 3.2.2 with XFree 4.3.0 - this is a RedHat 9 box running KDE rpms from the kde-redhat project.
Comment 4 Mike 2004-06-25 11:04:24 UTC
The remains in KDE 3.2.3 with Xorg.  My Slackware 10.0 (binary KDE) and Gentoo 2004.1 (source-compiled KDE) installs are both afflicted by this bug.
Comment 5 Adrian Mihailescu 2004-07-18 05:28:48 UTC
Same with KDE 3.2.2 with XFree 4.3.0 on Mepis. Just discovered that if I turn on the Numlock Win key will refuse to open the KMenu.

Yes. Same here! KDE 3.2.3, Xorg 6.7.0. And more - this is vulnerable to caps lock too!

xev reports that keycodes of those win keys (some keyboards have two of them) differ from those with numlock/capslock enabled.
Comment 9 Karol Pucyński 2004-08-21 21:59:47 UTC
I have this bug too (both with Num Lock and Caps Lock)! KDE 3.3, X.Org 6.7.0, Slackware current.
Comment 10 Jerzy Bartuszek 2004-08-21 23:41:40 UTC
So I guess it's not fixed in 3.3. Same thing here after upgrading :(
