Package: gnome-applets Version: 3.24.1-3+b1 Severity: normal I have always had the "Sticky Keys" setting enabled in the accessibility menu. After an upgrade in the past few days, the setting stopped having any effect.
Normally, when I press a modifier key (shift, alt, ctrl) and release it, the next key I press should be modified. In other words, I should not have to hold the modifier key down while I press the key to be modified. After the problem appeared, I rebooted (because I thought maybe a new kernel or X server or whatever was needed), but nothing changed. I've tried toggling the setting on and off, but it still has no effect. I have other systems where I do not use Gnome, and enable sticky keys from the command line, so I tried that: tsuyoshi@hiroshima:~$ xkbset sticky && xkbset exp '=sticky' XKB not supported for display :0 So that didn't work. And maybe this problem is not fundamentally caused by anything in gnome-applets, but by something that changed in the X server packages. But in that case it should give me some kind of error message, instead of silently doing nothing. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-applets depends on: ii gnome-applets-data 3.24.1-3 ii gnome-panel 3.24.1-2 ii gvfs 1.30.4-1+b1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.24.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.10-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.10-1 ii libcpufreq0 008-1+b1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-4 ii libglib2.0-0 2.53.6-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.19-1 ii libgtop-2.0-11 2.37.90-2 ii libgucharmap-2-90-7 1:10.0.0-1 ii libgweather-3-6 3.25.92-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libnotify4 0.7.7-2 ii libpanel-applet3 3.24.1-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.11-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.11-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-18 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b3 ii libtracker-sparql-1.0-0 1.12.1-1 ii libupower-glib3 0.99.5-3 ii libwnck-3-0 3.24.1-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-4 ii upower 0.99.5-3 Versions of packages gnome-applets recommends: ii gnome-flashback [polkit-1-auth-agent] 3.24.0-2 ii gnome-shell [polkit-1-auth-agent] 3.22.3-3 ii gnome-system-monitor 3.25.91-1 ii policykit-1-gnome [polkit-1-auth-agent] 0.105-6 Versions of packages gnome-applets suggests: pn tomboy <none> -- no debconf information
