I have been using the Windows XP "sticky keys" accessibility setting lately. I have found that when I play Civ4, the game disables the sticky keys, and then re-enables them when the game is closed. I assume that this behavior is intentional.
However, I do find it very annoying. It makes it more difficult to type shifted characters in the game, as when naming a new city. Also, I usually play Civ4 in Windowed mode and multitask while playing. As a result, sticky keys are not only disabled in the Civ4 game, but also whenever I want to type on any other program. This forces me to manually re-enable sticky keys every time I play Civ4.
So while this may techincally not be a bug (as it is probably intentional), I urge some reconsideration. Civ4 should respect the Operating System accessibility settings and not mess with them. Also, it appears that in some cases the sticky keys are not re-enabled when the game is ended.
