Could you please test with 'xev' if the key is indeed working reliably? I tested with xev and it consistently shows the correct key press and release. Btw, when it all started I bought a new keyboard of a well-known brand and the same problem persisted, so this xev output doesn't surprise me, it must be somewhere else having to do with the way plasma receives the key input Thanks for the report. Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.

It is still showing the same problem. It is kind of weird because it only happens on that desktop, other laptops with Opensuse and Plasma behave normal This one is really strange. I'm not sure where to go from here, hopefully, someone with higher technical expertise can assist. Please test in openbox/gnome instead of plasma on that machine. On X11, no plasma code is involved in getting from input events to client. Only XServer and the receiving client. At most we configure keyboard layouts. I can't think of anything that could be us. I have tried in the past with Mate desktop but since it's an older pc it's not used that much anymore and its happening only once in a while so I couldn't reproduce it just now. I would say to leave it as is, its not worth the effort to try to resolve this, maybe it was coincidence when KDE5 came around and it was cause by something else in the system. Thanks anyway. You're welcome. Sorry we couldn't figure this one out. For what it's worth, I might suggest that it's a hardware problem, or at least a hardware quirk. I used to have a laptop that would do this very same thing, but with the arrow keys: one of them would sometimes become "virtually" stick in the down position until you physically pushed it. Other people online reported the same issue; it was simply a defect of the hardware. |
