SPI_generateKeyboardEvent() leaves shift key held down
Last modified: 2008-05-06 12:09:59 EDT
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)
