Summary: Keyboard Meta Keys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, NumLock, ...)
get stuck and not released
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: oliver.maurhart at gmx.net
Version: (using KDE 4.3.4)
Compiler: gcc-4.4.2
OS: Linux
Installed from: Gentoo Packages
Since KDE 4.3.3 I'm struggling with my Keyboard on a Dell Latitude D810. Quite
frequently the keyboard meta keys get "stuck". This refers to Alt, Shift, Ctrl,
CapsLock, NumLock, ...
In 1 out of 2 attempts the meta key is not released, e.g. keeping Shift
"pressed". This has some very annoying consequences while working. Pressing F4
in an App may render to Alt-F4, which doesn't invoke a function but closes the
whole application ... :(
First I though of an hardware failure, but then I was surprised that Gnome on
the very same machine does *not* suffer from this behavior. So I think it is
more KDE related.
It's really disturbing, but I don't know where to look at to get a clue what's
going on.
Can someone please give me a nudge to point me to some diagnostic apps or some
hint?
