TM->requirements: Not a defect, but might be a wish for an enhancement. Please have a look, thanks ! Due to the way the alt key works it breaks sticky keys for accessibility. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285407 Marking this as a defect instead of an enhancement due to that. set target 3.x Using 3.0.1 on Ubuntu Intrepid. This may be related. Alt will randomly activate the file menu, with my hands nowhere on the keyboard. I afce similar problem. The first item of menu (File) is automatically activated every 30 seconds approximately and disappears again automatically after a bit shorter time. There could be also a problem with F10 key ... OS Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, OO 3.1.1 OOO310m19 (build 9420) It'd be nice if alt key can be configured as non-sticky. Sticky alt key is ok in MS Windows because all other applications do the same. It is not good in linux (or in X, gnome, or WM?) to activate file menu when you press and release alt key -- quite incompatible with other applications in this environment. I'm not experiencing vladimircz's problem: my version behaves quite consistent, not random. 3.2.1 OOO320m14 (Build:9489), Japanese enabled. |
