Bug ID: 362711
Summary: Opening firefox with custom shortcut Meta+N keeps
Alt-key locked
Product: kwin
Version: 5.5.5
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: g...@netcologne.de
I do not know if this is an KDE oder firefox issue. Also I do not know which
component I should report this to. But I have the hope that someone has an idea
how to solve this?
II have defined a custom shortcut in the KDE system-settings:
"Meta+N" with action "/usr/bin/firefox --browser"
This opens a new firefox window by pressing the left Windows key together with
"n". I am using this since many years and because of working in the area of the
web I open many firefox windows each day.
Since some weeks (I think it did start already before upgrading from kubuntu
15.10 to 16.04, but I am not quite sure) I have the problem that a freshly
opened firefox window behaves like if the alt-key still was pressed. So if I
want to type something in the autofocused location bar that e.g. is starting
with "e", the "Edit" menu of firefox is opened instead of inserting the "e"
into the location bar. I have to press the escape key first, before I can work
with the firefox window normally.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define the mentioned custom hotkey in the system-settings
2. Press left windows key + "n".
3. A firefox window opens.
4. type something into the location bar (an URL or a search word, etc.)
Actual Results:
Sometimes (very often), but not always you cannot type into the location bar.
Instead you are opening different menu items or other functionalities like you
were holding the alt-key pressed while typing.
Expected Results:
The typed characters should show up in the location bar.
