Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
(This is probably not a bug with the control panel as such but I'm not
sure which package is responsible for the behaviour.)
To reproduce:
0- add the AccessX keyboard status applet to a panel so that you can observe
the shift key state
1- open Keyboard preferences
2- tick 'Simulate Simultaneous Keypresses'
3- observe that you can now press shift, release shift, press a and you will
get a "A" as if the keys had been pressed together - this is working correctly
4- in firefox press Ctrl, release Ctrl (you'll see it lit in the accessx
applet) then click with the mouse on a link
What does happen:
The link opens in a new tab, but the Ctrl state remains lit.
What should happen:
The link should open in a new tab and then the Ctrl modifier should turn off.
The first mouse release should release the sticky key (unless it's in
the locked double-pressed state), just as the first keypress does.
The problem is not specific to firefox - you can also observe it when
for example alt-dragging a window or shift-selecting a region.
