It seems extremely obvious to me that this accessibility requirement should not be disabled by default.

OTOH, it also seems obvious that it should be fixed to take mouse motion into account, and not trigger if there's been any substantial input activity while it's down.

The patch should be reasonably simple, to wrap mouse events similarly to xkb/xkbPrKeyEv.c's ProcessKeyboardEvent, and pass them through to the AccessX code, which would then cancel any pending AccessX events if mouse activity is detected.
