Bug#443471: xserver-xorg-input-kbd: Alt KeyPress event ignored when Super key modifier is pressed
Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.2.2-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
if i keep pressed the right or left Super key modifier and then press the right Alt key (trying a chord), xev doesn't report the Alt keypress event. With Super still pressed, if i release the Alt key, i have both events, KeyPress and KeyRelease of the Alt key, reported simultaneously, with the same exact time-stamp.
This doesn't happen with the left Alt key, or using the same keyboard with a laptop running Etch, so at least i would exclude a keyboard glitch.
I've tried with a bare X session, only a WM running (Sawfish and Metacity), and older versions of xserver-xorg-input-kbd, xserver-xorg-core, and xkb-data without results, so i'm not sure it's a regression of the xserver-xorg-input-kbd package.
I've looked at #442963 (order matters when pressing Ctrl + Alt) and seems suspiciously related, but i can't replicate that bug.
