Two things:

Why do you assign this to random people? :P
We don't allow issues with custom builds in our tracker -> closed therefor

A few things you can try:

Test with an official build from buildbot
Make sure OS and drivers are up-to-date
Use factory settings
Test with other hardware

Anyway, thanks for the report :)

You mean they do not work at all? Also not in combination with other shortcuts? Also, @GoXor and @VitaliyKichigin, could you follow the tests I mentioned above? Maybe this will help solving the issue.

So you're both using a "virtual keyboard"? Mhh, not sure if that's supported at all since Blender isn't really made for mobile devices as of now. @mont29, any thoughts?

Bird commented

2015-02-13 15:46:17 +01:00

no, but it exactly show how it (not)work with hardware keyboard...

Bastien Montagne commented

2015-02-13 16:52:39 +01:00

@JulianEisel virtual keyboards are supposed to know how to generate 'real' X11 keyboard events, so I would expect them to work as well as a real one.

Issue here is that I cannot reproduce that issue either (using Debian testing)…

@GoXor or @County, can you please run Blender from a console with --debug-events --debug-handlers options, try a few quick uses of those modifier keys, quit blender, and attach here (as a text file!) the lengthy messages printed out in the console?

@mont29, have you seen the first video by @VitaliyKichigin? For me it really looks like some events are not handled correctly or so...

Bastien Montagne commented

2015-02-16 20:52:21 +01:00

@JulianEisel he reported on IRC yesterday, iirc he has on PC working OK (NVidia GPU), the other broken (intel integrated GPU), bith under same OS (ubuntu) and using same version of blender… definitively an OGL issue, but unclear whether driver issue or once again a rounding issue in our code.

Blender (X11 applications in general) shouldn't need special code to support virtual keyboards,

Tested a virtual keyboard call 'onboard': https://launchpad.net/onboard

Modifier keys worked as expected.
What virtual-keyboard application are you using?

(note, it could be caused by similar issues as #40317 / #40155)

Yes, i was use 'onboard', but only to show this trouble. It is exactly demonstrate how laptop's keyboard not work normal. See all comments above...

Lots of people use Blender on laptops, on Linux without this bug, so its likely this is an error specific to your configuration.

Please describe the following:

Which virtual keyboards you tested (name & version number).
Which virtual keyboards work/fail.

Also:

What keyboard layout you use.
What language your system is using.

Can you try:

See if you have accessibility options enabled on your system (can conflict with applications).
Change your keyboard layout to US-english (to see if that works)
Use a different desktop environment window-manager (kde/gnome/xfce/openbox... etc)

At this point its really not clear why modifier keys would fail so it would help if you did some troubleshooting.

Lots of people use Blender on laptops, on Linux without this bug, so its likely this is an error specific to your configuration. Please describe the following: - Which virtual keyboards you tested (name & version number). - Which virtual keyboards work/fail. Also: - What keyboard layout you use. - What language your system is using. Can you try: - See if you have accessibility options enabled on your system (can conflict with applications). - Change your keyboard layout to US-english (to see if that works) - Use a different desktop environment window-manager (kde/gnome/xfce/openbox... etc) At this point its really not clear why modifier keys would fail so it would help if you did some troubleshooting.

I test 2.73a on linux mint with Cinnamon and Xfce (see above details & sys reports)

We need to be able to redo the bug. What you describe sounds like a fairly typical Linux installation,

I can think of other things to test...

Reset factory settings.
Try plug in a USB keyboard.
Does a Live CD show the same problem (recent Ubuntu Studio for example).

Further, these kinds of bugs are rarely errors in Blender's code, and instead some local configuration we dont have control over.

Moving to unconfirmed.
