It's a feature, to enable sticky keys as needed. I had the same problem
with some older release of XFCE. I solved it by disabling all assistive
technologies, as I do not need them. If this is true for you too, you
can disable it by unchecking the "Enable assistive technologies" option
in the "Assistive Technologies" tab in Settings > Accesibility.
Yup, did that. Multiple times. :-) I even looked at that dialog
right after the sticky keys feature became active and all the
checkboxes were still unchecked.
