Description Marvin Raaijmakers 2006-01-14 02:28:49 UTC 
I wrote a program that connects to the X server and grabs a number of keys using
XGrabKey(). In an infinite while loop events are retrieved by XNextEvent(). The
client has no window. So the client should only receive those key events that
where specified in the XGrabKey() calls. The client however also receives key
events sent by XTestFakeKey() that are not grabbed.
The XTestFakeKey() function is called within the same program, but a different
connection to the X server is used for this function.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Marvin:
can you confirm if this is still an issue. I just can't see how it could happen with the current code.

If it still happens, can you please attach the program you wrote to test this?
Comment 4 Marvin Raaijmakers 2008-05-01 02:05:02 UTC 
Sorry but this was not a bug. All key events were received after the keyboard has been grabbed. So this report can be closed.

done. closing as invalid.
