Description Shlomi Fish 2013-06-07 09:25:23 UTC 
Hi all,

with my default UNIX user account, the keyboard is becoming completely unresponsive for the complete desktop (no key emits a keystroke), when I do something with fontforge (see below). 

It happened before in other circumstances, but they were not reproducible. I should note that it is OK on LXDE for my user and OK for KDE in a new UNIX user account, but not OK with KDE with the kaccessrc file placed under ~/.kde4/share/config/ (or maybe ~/.kde/share/config on your system).

I am on Mageia Linux 4/Cauldron x86-64. 

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a konsole.

2. Type fontforge LinLibertine_Mah.ttf .

3. Open the "F letter.

4. Select a few guide points using shift+click with the mouse.

5. Press the "y" key.

Actual Results: Keyboard hangs completely.

Expected Results: Keyboard should continue working.

You can find the relevant files here:

I can attach them here.

Regards,
