That’s good to know. I should have searched for a ticket but the problem has been arounde for a long time and has been discussed so little that I didn’t. Gene

For me it was nvda 2019.x before the python conversion. And narrator would get stuck as well. The same thing would be done to fix it though.

Oh thank god. I've been having this issue now for at least a year and it's random too, but annoying at best when it happens.

I had an instance this evening where neither shift key was stuck. I don’t remember what I figured out was stuck control or alt now. I don’t know if this line of inquiry would help developers

I remember this, and this has been going on since 2020 in my case. I did report it then, and I think there are discussions on the list in regard to this from last year.

It’s not sticking keys. It happens on my keyboard as well, and on my laptop keys as well. I already submitted a lot of logs on a github page, I think in regard to this. Narrator will even stick as

Fortunately for this one, a recent PR got merged into master which might fix it. https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/12610

Hi, It appears one of the NVDA add-on authors may have found a solution to the "stuck key" problem: Issue: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/12609 Accompanying pull request:

Gene, Thanks for the clarification. There is the Windows Feature called sticky keys, and there are sticking keyboard keys, and there are unintentional software-generated sticky keys, too. It's now

I remember a bit of discussion of what you are describing before but I don’t think it was sustained enough to catch the attention of the developers on the list. I didn’t remember who, for the

Sticky keys in this context, I don’t know how else the term may be used, is caused by a screen-reader somehow causing a key to get stuck on, but not because of the keyboard. I don’t know if JAWS

- This could be coincidental. Sticking keys often "unstick" on their own. There are things that can be done for process of elimination. And let me make clear, I am not saying that this behavior is a

If this is a hardware issue why does restarting NVDA fix the issue?

- I say the following not to be snarky, but if it is actually sticking keys, we already know why this happens. Another good thing, and dirt cheap, is to obtain a USB keyboard (and thrift stores are

Yeah, I already said that a few months ago. I in fact go control left right, alt left right, windows, windows, shift left, right, tab when I know a key is stuck. This is not anything new, now we need

Occasionally, a problem where NVDA shortcut commands such as read title bar, open menus, etc. stop working has been discussed here. I may have found out what is actually going on and it may either
