[Bug 1347735] Re: Lockscreen capslock detection doesn't work well with remapped capslocks

 

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.2.3+14.04.20140826-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.2.3+14.04.20140826-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  [ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * Remove cross fade effect during lock/unlocking. A simple fading
    works just fine. (LP: #1312107)
  * Manually emit nux::Area::geometry_changed beucase nux can fail to
    emit it. (LP: #1292391)

  [ Pawel Szubert ]
  * Reduce the scope of the kill command when restarting Compiz.
    (LP: #1324114)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * LockScreenAcceleratorController: do ther configured action on power
    special keys press. We finally can suspend, shutdown, hibernate or
    start the screensaver when the screen is locked, using the Suspend,
    Sleep, Hibernate and PowerOff hardware keys. Also the Shutdown
    dialog doesn't allow now to lock the session if it is not allowed by
    settings. (LP: #1306211) (LP: #1320051) (LP: #1320071)
  * Previews: scale the dash preview contents to match current monitor
    scaling. Improved also the scaling of search-bar, spinner, categories
    and many other components. (LP: #1339629)
  * FilterWidgets: add support for scaling (LP: #1340171)
  * OverlayRendering: correctly scale the overlays borders and edges to
    match settings. DashStyle has been modified to return smart pointers
    of textures that are loaded depending on the scale level. The cache
    will make sure that we don't duplicate the textures and that they
    get removed when not needed anymore. Also thanks to this the
    SearchBarSpinner textures (and the other spinners as well) uses the
    SVGs scaled at the proper size (I desgined a new SVG for the
    magnifier, as we only had a PNG). (LP: #1283415) (LP: #1340394)
  * Hud: scale to match current DPI settings for monitor. (LP: #1340477)

    OverlayScrollbar and with scaling support. Using them in dash Scopes and
    Previews. (LP: #1340996)
  * LockScreenShield: Add GrabScreen function and retry to make sure we really
    get the grab. It might happen that the grab is not possible because the
    PluginAdapter::IsScreenGrabbed request has still not being fully processed,
    and thus nux is not able to grab the pointer/keyboard. By doing this we
    instead try to grab the screen, and if this is not happening, we wait a
    little until we don't get the ungrab event. In this way, if we eventually
    get the grab, all will work as expected. Otherwise, we cancel the lock
    request (very unlikely to happen). (LP: #1349128)
  * PlacesOverlayVScrollBar: redirect the mouse wheel scroll events coming from
    the thumb to the scrollview. This will make the scrollview to handle then and
    perform the same scrolling action it would do otherwise. (LP: #1340992)
  * SwitcherView, PanelService: correctly handle horizontal and vertical scroll
    events (LP: #1342208) (LP: #1342731)

Title:
  Lockscreen capslock detection doesn't work well with remapped
  capslocks

Status in Unity:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Remapped keys to activate the caps-lock are not correctly detected by the unity lockscreen

  [Test case]
  1. Configure the keyboard so that "Both shifts together toggles CapsLock"
  2. Lock the screen using Super+L or menus
  3. Press both shifts together to turn the capslock on
  4. The lockscreen input field should show a warning
  5. Press the shifts again, and the warning should be hidden

  [Regression potential]
  None

  
  -----------------

  Version: 7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1 (trusty)

  Some users like to remap the way the activate capslock.  For example,
  using gnome-tweak-tool it's possible to set the CapsLock key to behave
  as an extra Ctrl, or an extra Alt (or several other extras) and then
  set "Both shifts together toggle CapsLock".

  This works perfectly well inside Unity, the hardware keyboard led
  indicator shows up, etc.  However, the lockscreen detector doesn't
  correctly warn or not warn when this setup is used.

  * If the lockscreen was activated with capslock on, then the double-shift makes capslock go away, but not the warning.
  * If the lockscreen was activated with capslock off, then the double-shift makes capslock on, but no warning shows up.

  I believe the problem is in this piece of code in unity-
  shared/TextInput.cpp:

  void TextInput::OnKeyUp(unsigned keysym,
                          unsigned long keycode,
                          unsigned long state)
  {
    if (!caps_lock_on && keysym == NUX_VK_CAPITAL)
      caps_lock_on = true;
    else if (caps_lock_on && keysym == NUX_VK_CAPITAL)
      caps_lock_on = false;
  }

  This is checking for specific key, instead of the fact that CapsLock
  was activated or not.
