Public bug reported:
HARDY AMD64
REFERS ALSO TO FEISTY i386 and GUTSY i386
Microsoft Wireless Multi-media Keyboard 1.0A
PACAKAGE: according to xprop | grep WM_CLASS: gnome-at-properties
However the package appears not to be known in the "Which package..." selection
I set Assistive Technologies Preferences>Keyboard Accessibility/Keyboard
Preferences:
Allow to turn accessibility features on and off from the keyboard - NOT TICKED
Simulate simultaneous keypress - ticked
Disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed together - NOT TICKED
Notifications:
Beep when accessibility features are turned on or off - ticked
Beep when a toggle key is pressed - ticked
Beep when a modifier key is pressed - ticked.
These settings work as expecteded EXCEPT:
pressing Caps Lock DOES NOT BEEP - it should
BUT
pressing a modifier key and another key at the same time TURNS OFF THESE
SETTINGS - it shouldn't as Disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed together
is NOT TICKED.
I can not express strongly enough how grossly inconvenient the latter
is. All settings have to be re-done dozens of times a day.
Nor can I express strongly enough how alienated bugs in
Accessibility/Assistive Technologies make us who need them, feel.
Please, please can Accessibilty features be fixed - this bug I am
reporting has been with Ubuntu since I first used it (Edgy). You will
never get 'importance' high on this by numbers or by reports such is
the ratio of users. But thinking beyond numbers - does Ubuntu want to
ignore or embrace those who need these features?
