done! ** Description changed:
- 1. Open kernel console (Ctrl+Alt+F3) - 2. log in - 3. run far2l - 4. press F1 - 5. press ESC - 6. press ESC once again + [ Impact ] - Expected behavior: one ESC press is enough to close help - Observed behavior: you have to press ESC twice + This bug affects users of the far2l console file manager on Ubuntu. + Users need to press ESC twice instead of once while working in kernel + console. This behavior is unexpected and can be annoying, disrupting the + user's workflow. - This issue has already been fixed upstream: - https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/pull/2314/files + The upstream patch (https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/pull/2314/files) + addresses this issue by correcting the ESC key handling logic, ensuring + that a single press of the ESC key work as intended. Backporting this + fix to the stable release will improve the user experience for far2l + users by eliminating this small but frustrating bug. + + [ Test Plan ] + + Reproduce the bug: + + 1. Open a kernel console (Ctrl+Alt+F3). + 2. Log in. + 3. Run far2l. + 4. Press F1 to open the help screen. + 5. Press ESC once. Observe that the help screen does not close. + 6. Press ESC a second time. The help screen should now close. + + Apply the patch and rebuild the package. Verify the fix: + + Repeat steps 1-5 from the "Reproduce the bug" section. + + Observe that pressing ESC once now successfully closes the help screen. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + The patch code utilizes ioctl to determine the kernel console mode. In + rare cases, the ioctl call might return an unexpected value, which could + lead to enabling "esc expiration" mode in environments where it is not + needed (e.g. in ttyxi mode). This may lead to small delays in ESC key + handling in those environments. + + [ Other Info ] + + User impact: This bug is a minor annoyance rather than a major blocker, + however, it is a common use case and fixing it will improve the overall + user experience.
