Description kubrick@fgv6.net 2014-10-14 23:41:59 UTC
Description of problem:
When using the shift key, and pressing a succession of keys rather rapidly, input is receives back to front. For example, my root password contains a sequence of capital letters, say "ABCD", and it took me a while to understand why my passwords were not matching.
The reason is that if I hold the shift key pressed and type "abcd" in a quick succession, "DCBA" is received (I tried it in the "What's your name screen" to see it in clear text).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21_Alpha-1

How reproducible:
I suppose this guy had the same problem:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.testers/113827

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 21 as a new vm with virt-manager in Fedora 20
2. Try typing a sequence of capital letters with the switch key in the installer

Actual results:
Scrambled/back-to-front input

Input works fine outside the installer, ie when the system is installed.

Comment 1 kubrick@fgv6.net 2014-10-15 00:44:42 UTC
I can only reproduce it when the system is terribly slow, ie. disabling kvm acceleration.
