Description Vincent Untz 2008-06-02 15:31:32 UTC 
When you press shift for 8 seconds, it enables slow keys (if you enabled the a11y keyboard feature).

It can happen that the user does this by accident, and that's why we have a dialog to confirm this. But there are two issues here:

 + this dialog does not get the focus, and can stay hidden behind another dialog so people don't see it

 + the slow keys are enabled without waiting for confirmation in this dialog. With the first issue, it means you can get a "wow, my keyboard does not work anymore!" from users.

FWIW, I saw 3 people hitting this...
