key presses not read

[Karol Krenski]

Hi again,

Yes Olivier that's the case. Thanks! Now it makes sense - it would
happen when doing graphics. One often holds shift/ctrl for over 10
seconds and that makes the switch into slow keys mode.

This is my setup (rough translation):




Persistent Keys (what are those?)
[x] enabled
[ ] blocked
[ ] two keys disable




Slow keys
[ ] enable

latency
xxxxxxxxxx-----------------






bounced keys (what are those?)
[ ] enable 

latency
xxxxxxxxxx-----------------


As you can see slow keys are not enabled but holding keys for 10 seconds
makes the switch. How come?

regards,
Karol
