[Bug 1730478] Re: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password
Well, I do not have 'Sticky keys' enabled now, and I doubt I ever did. It really felt to me that the lock screen and "everything else" seemed to keep independent state for shift (or caps lock possibly), and I happened to get them out of sync. I'm fine for this bug to expire, but figure I'd at least fill in the remaining info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730478 Title: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1730478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, sounds like this might be a feature rather than a bug.

The "sticky key" accessibility feature is turned on by pressing shift a few times, see https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y- stickykeys.html.en that might kick in and be the issue there? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730478 Title: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1730478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1730478] Re: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password
Daniel, You're right that shift doesn't dismiss the lock screen. I've asked some others to try to reproduce and they have failed also. I think what is happening might instead be related to me hitting the 'shift' key repeatedly as my screen is going to sleep. It seems that that causes an issue where the there is a split brain on the state of either caps lock or shift. I just noticed right now when trying to gpg sign something that *it* I had to put the caps lock key on *it* also. (this is the full screen dialog for gpg). I suspect that a reboot will cure this until I frantically start hitting 'shift' again when the screensaver is fading out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730478 Title: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1730478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1730478] Re: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password
I can't seem to reproduce the problem yet. Waking the screen with Shift works, but does not dismiss the lock screen. The lock screen only goes away after I start typing a password but it seems to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730478 Title: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1730478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
