#1119 closed defect (fixed)

altgr workaround causes spurious ctrl key events to be sent

Reported by: Antoine Martin Owned by: alas
Priority: major Milestone: 0.17
Component: keyboard Version: trunk
Keywords: Cc:

Description (last modified by Antoine Martin)

Related to #62, see also #923, #824, #759, #602, #425.

The workaround detects when Alt_R follows Control_L and undoes the control keypress. This causes applications to see the control key pressed briefly.
We should try to detect those spurious key events and avoid sending them.

Mostly implemented in r11924 + r11926

Still TODO:

  • verify spurious numlock changes (caused by firing from a timer instead of key event?)
  • backports for older branches - after checking for regressions (as per list of tickets in bug description)

@afarr: just a FYI, please close. You are unlikely to trigger this code unless you use a keyboard layout using altgr on win32.

Noted... and I don't, so I'll just close and presume I'll remember if it ever comes up again.
