"Sticky keys" stops working randomly

Hi

I am using Sticky Keys, set via this menu:

From time to time, 1-2 times a week, they do not work anymore, although the checkbox is there.
So every few days I have to enter that menu, uncheck and check back the option in order to work.

Then it works for some days and stop working again.

What can be the cause? Maybe I am pressing some shortcuts that disables them? Although I don't think so.
Thanks

Hi ... Your keyboard's "erratic" function may have to do with XFCE's accessibility settings. Have you checked over the settings in >Settings Manager > System > Accessibility > Keyboard tab > [toggle options] ? There exist 3 settings (sticky / slow / bounce) and time delays you could experiment with. Cheers, m4a

hi, yes, I only check the first one, the other ones does ot seem to be related to the "validity" of a Sticky Keys option
