FWIW, I think these gnome bugs illustrate the problem with accessiblity features in gnome. It appears that decisions were made years ago to avoid fixing these problems and complying with the accessX feature set. And my current bug probably is related to the years' old issue in gnome. At least that's my guess from reading these old bug reports:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95656 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131406 Specifically take note of this comment from 10/30/2003 in 95656: " XKB allows this, but it's not clear to me that this behavior is important to users. We _do_ know that the second behavior (latch-to-lock OFF) would cause problems with window navigation in GNOME, so if we do allow the user to switch between behaviors #1 and #2, we will have to deal with the difficult problem of fixing the resulting metacity 'regression'." It seems like gnome has always had the idea that it's too difficult to fix and will cause regressions. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #95656 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95656 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #131406 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131406 -- gnome stickykey does not work on openoffice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
