Hey Guys,

There is a bug in Sticky Keys that has been around for quite some time. I=
t has=20
been reported (in April 02) but ignored by the person assigned the bug. I=
=20
think before Accessibility features are extended, existing ones shoul be =
made=20
to work. The bug is this:

(See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D41778)
After enabling Sticky Keys it functions properly initially but then Stick=
y=20
Keys turns itself off after some period of inavtivity.

This bug was purported to be fixed in KDE 3.0 but, in fact, is not. Some =
of us=20
actually use and depend on Sticky Keys to be more productive. I just=20
installed Mandrake 9.0 with KDE 3.0 and can confirm, as anyone else who w=
ould=20
care to try, that the bug is still there.

What will it take to get someone to look at this?

Thanks,
David
