Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.4+4 When Im in text console, using Alt-F7 to return to X passes the F7 key to the window which has current focus. Ive found numerous reports of this bug in other places via google, but no solutions or possible remedies to fix it.
When watching the flow with xev, when I press Ctl and Alt the KeyPressed event is sent, then a KeyRelease is generated for both keys, just before the console switch occurs. When I press Alt-F7 to return, xev shows the F7 key appearing as a KeyPresed/KeyRelease'd event. Is there any way to prevent this key from reaching the X server? This bug has been reported in SuSE at the following URL.. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141443 This page indicates that the bug has been resolved, but there appears to be no actual details of a resolution. This bug seems difficult to reproduce, as it doesnt occur on a fresh debian install, however my system was installed about 3 years ago and kept up-to-date ever since. I have updated all packages current as of 23/8/09, and the bug is still present. Im happy to provide any logs or other detailed debugging info to help resolve this issue, however Im somewhat over my head when it comes to debugging the X system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
