** Description changed: Feisty i386, Hardy Beta AMD64 (at least) When the Keyboard Accessibility settings for Enabling Sounds and Modifier Keys have been set - but NOT set to disable if more than one key is pressed - the settings stop working fairly rapidly in Hardy AMD64 and after most reboots in Feisty. 1. This is extremely annoying for those of us who need to hear when a modifier key is pressed. 2. In Hardy AMD64 the Caps Lock key does not beep when modifier sounds are enabled - in Feisty it does. Please - this has been reported for years - please can more attention be paid to this minority group of users who need their Accessibility settings to be remembered by the system. It really is very important to some of us. - Thanks ... + Thanks ... David + + + WORKAROUND that works for some people: + 1. Start gconf-editor (Configuration Editor). + 2. Go to /desktop/gnome/accessibility + 3. I had enabled Sticky Keys from Keyboard preferences before starting gconf-editor. I found that stickykeys_enable was checked. stickykeys_modifier_beep was checked. stickykeys_two_key_off was also checked. This is important, because I had specifically not enabled this option from Keyboard preferences. Nevertheless, it was checked. I unchecked this, and set value for timeout to an extremely large value (24000).
