I think this one has been fixed post-beta1. Can someone confirm? *** Bug 97503 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** @#1: only the default for gestures has been changed. I don't think there is a way to configure gestures and not slow key If you like I'll file separate wishlist bugs for my little requests, but this bug is reporting the failure of features which Are present. Please set back to 'Normal' Horrible, horrible bug :( -- I got fragged so much because of it, not being able to sprint is quite the disadvantage. /me went temporarily back to ion until this is fixed: ftp://81.86.159.146/latest.png It has been fixed post-beta1. In the beta the code for deactivating the gestures was missing, so as a workaround you could try to restart KDE after turning off the gestures. For turning on/off the gestures individually please open a new whishlist item (if you care about that). *** Bug 98329 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sorry--this bug report doesn't contain enough version numbers for me to tell whether an upgrade will fix it, but as of Debian unstable kde 3.5.4-2 it has not been resolved. I hold down "shift" for 8 seconds and the 'Do you really want to activate "Slow Keys"' dialog box comes up. I tell it "When a gesture was used: Deactivate all AccessX features and gestures", which is nonintuitive, since I'd like to disable everything permanently (see also Bug 119607). But that's the best I can do, so I do it. Next time I log out and log back in and hold down "shift" for 8 seconds, the same thing happens again. How do I keep that dialog from coming back, ever? This should be a per-user setting, not a per-session one. Isn't it? In "Control Center / Regional & Accessibility / Accessibility" I have disabled "Modifier Keys / Use sticky keys" and "Activation Gestures / Use gestures for activating sticky keys and slow keys". Those seem to persist over sessions. What else do I need to disable? This is at least a UI bug, and probably a persistent-data-getting-lost bug. I also get the Gnome message asking me the same thing. Possible crosstalk? Shouldn't be, but ??? If this has been resolved post-3.5.4 please tell me? Many thanks! -Ben Apparently I misspoke. It's worse than that: the "Disable all AccessX ..." choice SOMETIMES works 'til the end of the login session, and SOMETIMES doesn't have any effect at all--next time you hold the shift key for 8 seconds the dialog comes right back again. HOWEVER (this is interesting): I noted earlier that KDE and Gnome each pops up a window asking about whether Slow Keys should be enabled. The SOMETIMES above seems to go for both of them: when KDE or Gnome finally takes the hint, so does the other one... until the next login. Also, some more info on my current system, although this bug has been around for quite a few versions now: kde 3.5.4-2 sawfish 1.3+cvs2006100 gnome-control-center 2.14.2-3+b1 xorg 7.1.0-5 ...anything else? |
