[Bug 601950] Re: Shift/Ctrl/Alt on Rocketfish (RF-BTKB4) bluetooth keyboard do not work.

 

This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has
changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if
this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report
against it and we will take it from there.

** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  Shift/Ctrl/Alt on Rocketfish (RF-BTKB4) bluetooth keyboard do not
  work.

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bluez

  I purchased at RF-BTKB4 Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard in a keyboard/dongle/mouse set. The keyboard pairs fine. Linux detects the keypresses of Shift/Ctrl/Alt, but doesn't recognize when they are held down. Here are links to forum topics about the problem:

  The workaround of enabling "Simulate Simultaneous Keypresses" works,
  but needs to be reset everytime the keyboard comes out of sleep mode.

  I have a USB Logitech illuminated keyboard, and a PS3 bluetooth
  keyboard that both work without the previous problem.

  Attached are logs of me pressing 1-2-3-4-5, Holding Shift, pressing
  1-2-3-4-5, Releasing Shift
