What were you trying to do that didn't work?

I was trying to open the Orca screen reader's Preferences window using the key shortcut - Insert+Space. It sometimes worked and sometimes not. After many attempts I found out, it does not work when there is no other window opened on the current workspace.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

orca-40.3-1.el9.noarch
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.11-26.el9.x86_64
mutter-40.9-16.el9.x86_64
gnome-shell-40.10-20.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:

always

Steps to reproduce

1. Login to Gnome under X11
2. Close the Overview without starting any application
3. Make sure there are no open windows (or dialogs) on current workspace
4. Start the Orca screen reader (via accessibility menu or using the Alt+Super+s shortcut)
5. Wait till Orca starts to speak (should say "Screen reader on...")
6. Hold the Insert key pressed, shortly press the Space key, release the Insert key.

Expected results

Orca's Preferences window should open.

Actual results

Nothing happens.

Notes

Works fine when:

• Gnome runs under Wayland,
• a window of some application (e.g. terminal or gedit) opened on current workspace,
• in overview.
