Bug ID: 498487
Summary: Sticky Keys Feature Causes Mouse to Enter Permanent
Grab Mode
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.3
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_accessibility
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ahjoli...@yahoo.com
CC: duha.b...@gmail.com, nicolas.fe...@gmx.de
Target Milestone: ---
When experimenting with the Sticky Keys feature under Accessibility, I
encountered a bug after enabling and then disabling the feature. Here's what
happened:
Enabled the Sticky Keys feature to test it out.
Pressed Ctrl + Shift + Alt but observed no immediate effect or indication of
functionality.
Disabled Sticky Keys, and my mouse unexpectedly entered a persistent "grab
mode."
I was unable to perform any actions with the mouse except grabbing and moving
windows.
Rebooting the system resolved the issue.
I successfully replicated the issue but cannot confirm if "Lock Sticky Keys"
was enabled during my initial test.
Steps to Reproduce:
Enable Sticky Keys under Accessibility settings.
Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt (or potentially other key combinations).
Disable Sticky Keys.
Observe the mouse behavior switching to permanent grab mode.
Expected Behavior:
Disabling Sticky Keys should restore normal mouse functionality without
entering grab mode.
Actual Behavior:
The mouse becomes stuck in grab mode, restricting normal usage until a reboot.
Additional Information:
KDE version: [plasma 6.3 beta]
OS/Distribution: [Arch testing]
Replicated: Yes
Possible Suggestions:
Clarify the functionality of Sticky Keys within the UI to avoid confusion for
first-time users.
Investigate potential interactions between Sticky Keys and mouse/keyboard input
states after disabling.
