Description Peter Parente 2005-10-27 16:23:54 UTC 
The press and release of the Control key is consumed when mouse cursor 
highlighting is enabled in the mouse preferences dialog. This precludes the use 
of the Control key for other AT commands.

Is there a need to eat the keystroke instead of monitoring for it, performing 
the highlighting, and then allowing it to pass?
Comment 1 bill.haneman 2005-10-27 16:31:50 UTC 
There is no way to avoid this - at least, without an XEvie-enabled system and
build.  The mouse cursor highlighting is basically toxic to accessibility,
ironically - this is the subject of an already existing bug I believe.
Comment 2 bill.haneman 2005-10-27 16:32:22 UTC 
If you find the duplicate bug please close this as a dup.  It's a bug in the
mouse cursor highlighting, which is doing an XGrab on the control key.

Thanks Bill. Didn't know where to file this bug. It looks to be a duplicate of 
104058. Closing this one.
