I reproduced this bug (once only) by doing the following: 1. I ran xev.
2. I did the key combination for 'brightness down'. The brightness dimmed but xev reported a continuous series of 101 key press / release events. This keycode 101 is listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuLaptopKeycodes as being the brightness down key for some Dell laptops like mine. 3. I did the key combination for 'brightness up'. The brightness increased and xev reported a single key press / release combination for key code 212. The stream of 101 keycodes stopped. After step 3, the key modifiers all work. However, I haven't been able to make it happen again. Brightness down normally generates no key events as far as xev is concerned (although the brightness does dim) and brightness up generates a single press / release sequence for keycode 212. So might the bug be related to the brightness controls? Note bug 188775, where X changes the screen brightness at random intervals for some users. I haven't noticed that bug on my system for a while now, but X now also rarely forgets key modifiers - it seems to happen after resume or in the 'brightness down' sequence in step 2 above. -- [hardy] keyboard modifiers randomly forgotten https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
