[orca-list] Orca losing capslock after connecting BT headphones bug

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish gmail com>]

Hi folks,

first of all, my configuration is Ubuntu mate 20.04 64-bit, Orca 3.39.1 
PRE (just pulled from master), and my keyboard configuration is laptop.


I have a problem, where after connecting bluetooth headphones, capslock 
key is no longer blocked by Orca. I can still use it as a modifier, but 
I will unintentionally switch capslock as well every time I do so.

The only usable solution I've noticed in this state is to restart Orca 
by pressing alt+super+S twice. After that, Orca will regrab the key and 
everything will work as usual, until I connect the headphones next time.


It is quite unpleasant, I've managed to lose my wired headphones 
somehow, so until I get newones, I have to use BTones in school. As I 
move from class to class, I'm transferring my laptop in closed state, 
where headphones disconnect as well. After opening it, they'll connect 
again swiftly, but I always have to restart orca first in order to be 
able to work properly.

In combination with situations, where Orca turns off, but for some 
reason doesn't turn on again, this can get quite tricky.


Does anyone have a similar issue?

It seems to be related to BT headphones in general, as both of mine are 
causing this issue. Disconnecting is not a problem though, interestingly.


Best regards
