Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13953
The NUMPAD5 key is generating HOME when NumLock is off

The NUMPAD5 key is generating HOME when NumLock is off, this incorrect. Java unfortunately doesn't generate _ANY_ event for this key when NumLock is off - this is also incorrect and a bug will be logged for this.
I can reproduce it.

Philipp, this seems to be a VCL issue on Linux / XFree86: pressing numpad 5 without numlock should do nothing in a document, but in StarOffice it moves the cursor to "home". Since this does not happen on Solaris, I think the bug is probably in the system dependent VCL code.
this is obviously not prio 2
This is not a critical bug, we have to fix in OOo 1.1. We had this also in OOo 1.0. Out of this reason, I set this task to OOo 2.0.
dkenny: The Xserver sends a XK_KP_Begin in this case; you're right this is currently mapped to KEY_HOME in vcl. I can of course change that, but what would you expect it to do instead ?
We need a way to attach listeners directly to X key events to solve #13952# anyway, so as soon as this one is fixed, we can safely suppress this key event in VCL as we do on Solaris (which generates F31 btw.).
pl->obr: this seems to be either dead, or better suited to be solved together with you issue 13592
according to the announcement on releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue will be re-targeted to OOo Later.
Accepted.
re-targeted to OOo 3.0
With CWS atkbridge (targeted for 2.0.3), OOo will get a "native" UNO <-> ATK bridge (see #i47890#), so there is no need to fix the UNO <-> Java bridge in this regard, especially since key events are not dispatched via this bridge on Windows.
