9.4 System Beeps Incorrectly for Slow Keys

Problem 

The Beep when key is rejected option for Slow Keys is not working correctly when I do the following:

  • Select the Enable Slow Keys option in the AccessX dialog.

  • Select the Beep when key is rejected option.

  • Deselect the Beep when key is accepted option.

  • Press-and-hold a key for the time specified in the Only accept keypress after spin box.

  • Release the key. The system accepts the keypress but the system beeps when you release the key.

In this situation, the system should not beep when you release the key after a successful keypress.  

Solution 

Perform the following actions:  

  1. Deselect the Beep when key is rejected option.

  2. Select the Beep when key is accepted option.
