Note sure that should be a blocker bug, it's a pretty specific configuration (specific laptop with external keyboard use and bios option dependent), the issue is also cosmetic
I've no real objection to just drop the numlock warning in gtk, you would assume that numlock on is the default for most users and not something to warn about, ideally that would be discussed upstream first though ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #662093 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662093 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #658875 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658875 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841541 Title: "num lock is on" warning remains even after num lock is turned off (thinkpad, numlock status for laptop and external keyboard different) Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-screensaver” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Status in “gtk+3.0” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Status in “gnome-screensaver” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “gtk+3.0” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: Version: 3.1.5-0ubuntu6 Release: 11.10 After fiddling with Num Lock, I noticed that the lock window claimed it was still enabled, and yet it is not. Comments info: "it might be connected with the fact that on (new) Thinkpads there are something like TWO num locks, one is for an external keyboard and the other - for the internal one." Sequence of events: * Turn on Num Lock. * Lock the screen. (On a ThinkPad, I do this by pressing Fn+F2. Whatever option it is that means "lock the screen immediately", I have it turned on.) * Tap a key to bring up the screen-locked/enter-password dialog. * Observe the warning. * Turn off Num Lock. * Observe the warning is still there. * Successfully unlock the screen. * Lock the screen again. * Observe the warning is still there. * [Optional] Unlock the screen. File a bug against gnome-screensaver. Not related to bug #835649, which concerns showing the warning when Num Lock is enabled but not otherwise problematic, e.g. when using a "full-size" (i.e. "has lots of extra keys") keyboard.
