** Description changed: - Ubuntu 25.10 - Mutter 49.0-2ubuntu5 - Wayland + [ Impact ] - Regression from plucky resulting in locked sticky keys not working. + With "Sticky Keys" enabled, pressing a modifier key twice in a row + should lock the modifier key, meaning that it remains effectively active + as a modifier for all other input events until it is pressed again to + unlock. - Similiar issue with fix for Mutter 49: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2125240 - (It appears this is not the fix as mutter 49.0-2ubuntu5 does not fix the issue.) + In questing, this no longer works: after double press, the modifier + results to be unlocked. - Expectation: - With sticky keys enabled in gnome-control-center, pressing: - Shift Down - Shift Up - Shift Down - Shift Up - A Down - A Up + [ Test Plan ] + This test verifies that sticky keys "locking" now works - will output uppercase 'A' into focused application. + 1. Enable Sticky Keys in the accessibility settings + 2. Open Text Editor + 3. Press and release Shift + 4. Press and release Shift again + 5. Type a letter + 6. Verify that it was capitalized + 7. Type some more letters + 8. Verify that all letters were capitalized - Problem: - With sticky keys enabled, the key sequence above will result in lowercase 'a' as output. + [ Test Plan B ] + This test verifies that sticky keys "latching" still works + + 1. Enable Sticky Keys in the accessibility settings + 2. Open Text Editor + 3. Press and release Shift + 4. Type a letter + 5. Verify that it was capitalized + 6. Type some more letters + 7. Verify that no more letters were capitalized + + [ Test Plan C ] + This test verifies that sticky keys work for multiple modifiers too + + 1. Enable Sticky Keys in the accessibility settings + 2. Open Terminal + 3. Select some text with the mouse + 4. Press and release Shift + 5. Press and release Ctrl + 6. Press and release c + 7. Press and release Shift + 8. Press and release Ctrl + 9. Press and release v + + 10.
