GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 144418
StickyKeys warning dialog slow to interact with
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Using a GNOME built with control-center-2.6.1 source tarball on 31st May 2004: -Add the kbd status applet to the panel -Enable StickyKeys -Press <Shift> 5 times Up pops a sticky keys disable dialog. This warning dialog is slow to dismiss and traverse with keyboard navigation.
I saw similar behavior before the gnome-2.6 community release, but it was fixed. I suggest we query bugzilla to see if the old closed bug has any hints for us.
This bug might be escalatable to a higher priority if it is reproducible (depending on how slow you're talking about here).
Does this problem also happen when accessibility is not enabled?
The problem does NOT occur when accessibility is not enabled.
The Stick Keys Alert dialog is put up by gnome-settings-daemon. I have not been able to find any reference to a similar bug.
Padraig: I seem to have misplaced the bug too. It was concerning keynav issues however, and turned out to be in ORBit2, which is probably why I can't find it in control-center now.
This sounds like a consequence of bug #136986.
strange that this is appearing as a regression though. If bug 136986 is still live, then it will have some repercussions (like this one, possibly). I have upgraded the priority of 136986, but don't quite understand the root cause (startup race of some kind?)
I think I am seeing this on SOlaris. I will investigate.
The call to Accessibility_Registry_getDeviceController in spi_atk_bridge_get_dec() fails.
Looking at the truss file I see a read call on a socket failing with ECONNREFUSED.
I suspect that this may be the same problem as bug #136986. Does this problem occur with at-spi 1.5.4 or later?

I do not see this with at-spi 1.5.4 so I am closing it.
