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

["Hwaen Ch'uqi" <hwaenchuqi gmail com>]

Greetings,

Yes, I have had the same issue whenever connecting to a speaker via
bluetooth. I didn't know about the "solution" that you proposed and
will gladly try it, though a more permanent fix would be wonderful! My
configuration is practically the same, only I am using the gnome
desktop.
