macOS: spurious key events #10905

Open Devon7 opened 1 week ago

Devon7 commented 1 week ago

SDL2 mysteriously started reporting spurious keyboard events, then mysteriously went back to normal about 28 hours later.

    Real    SDL2    Seconds

    ↓RCTRL  ↓RCTRL  19.337
    ↓RALT   ↓RALT   24.903

↓ SDL_KEYDOWN
↑ SDL_KEYUP

P.S. Nothing in MacOS changed prior to this lossage, except installing a new speech recognition language. No SDL apps were running when the syndrome began/ended. Multiple SDL apps were affected. No non-SDL apps were.

This bug vanished for a few days until yesterday it reappeared after enabling Zoom keyboard shortcuts. The original occurrence was after changing a Dictation preference. Yesterday I could repeatedly and reliably enable/disable it by turning Zoom keyboard shortcuts on/off but now it is stuck in the buggy state.

δ=0               319598.178 SDL_KEYUP   "Left Option" ....   0x0 NONE

dtime is the time change, Δ=NS, δ=SDL NS time is NSEvent time = seconds SDL time is SDL_Event common.timestamp / 1000 = seconds Event and Details are logged by me, a Cocoa_PumpEventsUntilDate breakpoint and my SDL_WaitEventTimeout loop. NSEvent details are abbreviated, uncensored details follow. .c.. and .... indicate keystate[ SDLSCANCODE {LALT,LCTRL,RCTRL,RALT} ] decoded, followed by SDL_Event key.keysym.mod in hex and decoded, finally SDL_Event key.repeat decoded.

P.S. Surprise, having taken time to investigate NextStep events in Cocoa_PumpEventsUntilDate, turning Zoom keyboard shortcuts on/off controls the bug again, effective the instant I click the checkbox.

P.P.S. My SDL_WaitEventTimeout (&event, 1) loop burns 20% CPU hoping to promptly log SDL events so they and my nonstop breakpoint po event print (int)event.type in Cocoa_PumpEventsUntilDate should output in temporal order.
