Description Ericchiu 2008-05-19 14:40:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8KDE 1.2)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMsFedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

I am very interested in linux stuff. 
Recently I found a bug on Kde screen saver.
When Entering screensaver mode 
Pressing any key on the keyboard would make the screen resume from saver.

However, When I In the screen saver Testing mode (preview)
pressing Tab key and application key (the key in near the right ctrl key)
has no response.

I have try do download the source code.

it's in the kdebase.

i found a file named scrnsaver.cpp
there is a function called grabkeyboard()

why system can't grab Tab and Application key in Testing mode?

thank you for your answering.

SVN commit 1189062 by ossi:

quit testing mode on *all* keypresses

implement a single event() instead of various fooEvent()s. as it is
called earlier in the chain, it can intercept <tab>, etc.
