[arch-general] Down doesn't stick

Two days ago I did a one week -due general upgrading. After rebooting, the "Down" key changed its usual behavior: keeping the key pressed should keep producing Down events (I use it sometimes to scroll a google page without the mouse, or to move down across a text editing page). Now, it only sends one event. If I want to scroll down two lines I have to press twice. The Up key still has the usual behavior. I checked with xev that events are not being sent (i.e., they are not just being ignored). I suspected a keyboard hw probem, and so I used xmodmap to map another key (AltGr, right next to the space bar) to be another Down. It worked well yesterday, but today, after booting, new and old key have both the same strange behavior. I have no idea what package may be causing this... Jorge Almeida

Jorge Almeida Check the keyboard settings from KDE/Gnome/Xfce control panel, if you us one of them. Don't know how the keyboard settings are handled on window-managers and such.

Could you check that you have `xset r` enabled? Does any key repeat, if you hold them? Maybe it's window manager behavior like mentioned above, (used for hotkey or hotkey combination for perhaps and grabs the key which would be IMO bad) Anyways sounds weird and can't really pinpoint unless more information is given and what packages did you upgrade. 2011/9/2 Jesse Jaara :

Nope, I'm a openbox user. Whatever settings are active must come from X. Anyway, they are the defaults, except for the kind of customization that is taken care by xmodmap Thanks J.

I have a few shortcuts set up, but I didn't change anything, and they still work, anyway. Other than that, I can't imagine what can affect Down and not Up.

OK, here it goes.

Nothing really stands out on your update, only openbox. Does this happen in every applications? So it's not a GTK or Qt bug? Do you get any useful output by testing holding down, down key in `xev`? 2011/9/2 Jorge Almeida :

Could you check that you have `xset r` enabled? Does any key repeat, if you hold them?

Keeping 'a' pressed in a text editor or xterm produces lots of a's. And Up works, as said.

...
Maybe it's window manager behavior like mentioned above, (used for hotkey or hotkey combination for perhaps and grabs the key which would be IMO bad)

I have a few shortcuts set up, but I didn't change anything, and they still work, anyway. Other than that, I can't imagine what can affect Down and not Up.

...
Anyways sounds weird and can't really pinpoint unless more information is given and what packages did you upgrade.

OK, here it goes. Thanks

Also, going to add.. Does this happen in virtual terminals (TTYs), switch to one and try doing `less textfile` and hold the down key. 2011/9/2 Jari Vetoniemi :

Nothing really stands out on your update, only openbox. Does this happen in every applications? So it's not a GTK or Qt bug? Do you get any useful output by testing holding down, down key in `xev`?

Keeping 'a' pressed in a text editor or xterm produces lots of a's. And Up works, as said.

...
Maybe it's window manager behavior like mentioned above, (used for hotkey or hotkey combination for perhaps and grabs the key which would be IMO bad)

I have a few shortcuts set up, but I didn't change anything, and they still work, anyway. Other than that, I can't imagine what can affect Down and not Up.

...
Anyways sounds weird and can't really pinpoint unless more information is given and what packages did you upgrade.

OK, here it goes. Thanks

Also, going to add.. Does this happen in virtual terminals (TTYs), switch to one and try doing `less textfile` and hold the down key.

Good point. In a TTY there is no problem. It's an X thing. Maybe I should try the openbox list. Google shows nothing. Thanks Jorge

You might try `xset r 116` — that will explicitly enable autorepeat for the Down key, if it was somehow disabled. ~Celti

Right. It does the job. I guess I'll put it in the openbox startup file. Somehow it seems strange that openbox is responsable for this, I would first suspect some driver or something like that. It would be interesting to know whether somebody else who uses arch+openbox has this problem. Thanks Jorge

Thanks. The xset woraround doesn't solve it all. evince refuses to comply, although gvim works fine Jorge
