Description Colin Leitner 2007-03-07 09:12:39 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Enabling the "highlight on ctrl" feature removes the KeyPress events for Control_L and Control_R from the event queue of any X11 application.

This bug disables the use of any Ctrl+? combinations in vncviewer. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable "Highlight the pointer when you press Ctrl" in the mouse properties application.
2. Start xev and press the left or right ctrl key. KeyRelease is logged, KeyPress not.
3. Disable the highlight property.
4. Press left or right ctrl key in xev; KeyPress and KeyRelease are delivered.


Actual results:


Expected results:
KeyPress event for Contorl_L and Control_R should be received by xev too.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.
