Description Zack Cerza 2006-07-24 17:47:48 UTC
Description of problem:
The following pseudo-code:

SPI_generateKeyboardEvent(<keySym>, '', SPI_KEY_SYM)

Where <keySym> is the keysym of a character which, when entered via an actual
keyboard, requires the user to press Shift, leaves the system in such a state
that it thinks the Shift key is still being held down.

For example, if you execute SPI_generateKeyboardEvent(43, ...), you'll correctly
see the + character. Now press 'a', you'll get 'A'.

SPI_generateKeyboardEvent(..., SPI_KEY_SYM) is supposed to imply that we're
doing a press-release, so no keys should be virtually held-down after the
function returns.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
at-spi-1.7.7-1.fc5.2.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Hmm, Zack, do you still see this with 1.7.10 ? 
Bill says he cannot reproduce it (see the upstream bug)
