Comment 4 for bug 998877

No, checking that option does nothing, since it affects the case where two _different_ keys are pressed simulataneously. What Im experiencing is that the same modifier key get deaktivated if pressed twice. An example: if I press Shift once and type several letters the first letter is uppercase: Aaaaa. If I press Shift twice and type several letters; what should happen is _all_ letters be uppercase. What happens instead is this: aaaaa. No letter is uppercase, because Shift got "unpressed"/"unstuck". Same behavior with all modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Win, Alt Gr).

And I would strongly argue that this _is_ a bug and a (big) problem, because all previous versions of Ubuntu and others OSs (inluding Windows) had/have the correct behavior of sticky keys: press once → stick for next keystroke, press twice → stick "forever", press third time → unstick.

I asked a friend to test this on his installation of 12.04, and he had the same, incorrect behavior.

I hope I was able to clarify my point. Please do not mark this report as invalid, because this bug renders 12.04 useless for someone who needs sticky keys (including me). Im sorry for the poor wording in the title.
