Maybe wontfix. Most users wont even notice, probably not worth a fix. (Qt Bugs)

Have you pressed a numpad key while recording the output above? What is this verr key exactly? |
|
I guess numlock. Is this really an issue in Albert only? |
It is |
"verr num", I guess "num lock" on an English keyboard", my keyboard is in the french layout (AZERTY), but my OS is in English and so are my locales.
$ localeHere's a log with me trying to use the keypad : log:To conclude, it feels like despite my keyboard being in num lock mode since the time my computer booted up, and that I can verify in other softwares that the keys from the keypad do produce numbers, Albert's prompt thinks the keyboard is not in num lock mode. I hope this log and description will help with figuring this out. My settings:
Is there any command line option I can use to start Albert without any plugin and with default settings so that I can compare behaviors ? Thank you for your time spent on that matter so far. EDIT: I remove the |

Might be related to albertlauncher/plugins#91 ? |
|
That's nothing I touched sofar. Probably this is a Qt bug. Can you reproduce this in e. G. Vlc, virtualbox qalculate? |
|
I tried qalculate from both the Flatpak (Qt UI) and binary (no sure if Qt) distributions, and I have no similar issue with the keypad. Should I also try to compile qalculate ? |
|
just realized qalculate is qt5 |
|
this projet depends on Qt 6 isn't it ? |
|
Yes. I meant maybe this is a regression in qt6. |
|
The behavior I witness is similar to what's described in QTBUG-76881 |
|
I tried it on an arch system. No problems there |
|
This is a minor issue, all other features of Albert are working as expected. If it only affects a minority of users, it may not be worth spending a lot of time on resolving it. There's a chance that a later update to Qt will fix it. If I see that it is fixed later on, I will update this thread. Thank you for the support so far ! 🚀 |

Is this a thing that happens with the qml frontend as well? |
|
Hi @ManuelSchneid3r, I'm not familiar with qml frontend. If you give me directions, I will be happy to try things out |
|
Hello @thomasleveil , he is referring to this: @ManuelSchneid3r |
|
So, I upgraded to Albert 0.22.3. With "Widgets BoxModels" frontend, I have the same behavior as described in this issue. |
|
Which kind of keyboard do you have and use for this? |
|
keyboard from MSI laptop GT72VR 6RD |
|
Alright, so it's not some kind of emulated numpad. Hm. |
