            Bug ID: 507144
           Summary: Keyboard monitoring APi mishandles key combinations
                    involving shift
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY

When a key combination is used with Orca that involves shift, the shortcut
doesn't work correctly. It'll either do nothing, or work and then make all
other key combinations stop working.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a keyboard shortcut involving shift in Orca's preferences, for example
orca shift z to open the notification messages list, this is the one I've set.
2. Try to trigger the shortcut.
3. If it works, pressing escape or trying any other key combination will either
not work, or not work as expected. Tab and the arrow keys work, but not much
else.

OBSERVED RESULT

The set shortcut doesn't trigger as expected, making the functionality bound to
that shortcut unusable.
EXPECTED RESULT

The shortcut should work just like any other, such as orca s to toggle speech
and orca t to present the time.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When trying the particular shortcut in web content, it will mostly want to
toggle structural navigation when in browse mode, and sometimes structural
navigation won't be triggered but neither will the other shortcut. In cases
where another shortcut isn't bound to orca and the alphanumeric key in
question, nothing will happen if the shortcut doesn't trigger and break
everything else.
