Description mathpup 2004-11-09 09:29:53 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          GCC 3.4.2 
OS:                Linux

In Control Center, under Peripherals, Mouse, Mouse Navigation, the setting for "Move pointer with keyboard" is the opposite of reality.

Right now, the flag in unset, so mouse navigation should be disabled, but it's actually enabled. If I check the flag and Apply, mouse navigation is disabled.

Prior to this, for several months, I have had the mouse navigation setting get out of sync with reality, but one cycle of setting, applying, unsetting, and applying always fixed it. Now it seems permanently out of sync.

The setting wasn't applied initially, fixed. Otherwise it works fine for me however.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Kcontrol has been replaced by System Settings in Plasma. Please give the latest version of that a try, and open a new bug in "systemsettings" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
