Description nn.dm55 2014-09-29 23:43:05 UTC 
I tried to switch windows using Alt+Tab but nothing happened. Then I clicked on a GVIM and tried to type. Still, nothing happened. Typing in Bash didn't give any response either and neither did Firefox. When I was trying to copy-paste characters into Firefox to look for an answer, I noticed that pressing arrow keys worked, but none of the other keyboard keys gave any response. However, the keyboard works just fine in the Ctrl+Alt+F1 console. Rebooting the computer and then logging back into KDE fixes this issue. Since this only happened once, I don't know if it will recur.

Reproducible: Didn't try


Actual Results:  
Keyboard keys don't produce any visible response from computer in KDE except for the arrow keys. However, in the Ctrl+Alt+F1 virtual console, the keyboard works fine. After rebooting, keyboard keys work as expected in both KDE and the virtual konsole.

Expected Results:  
Keyboard keys should respond in KDE.

This bug is similar to #171685 except that the arrow keys work in KDE even when KDE doesn't respond to any of the rest of the keys.

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
