I remember that, I had seen once that when I start laptop then a text appear on right top which say "Sticky key started" or something just like this. I don't remember the text correctly.

This is triggered by holding Alt and rolling the scrollwheel (or, on a touchpad, moving two fingers vertically).

Since you mention sticky keys: If they are on, the Alt keypress and the scroll event would not even need to occur simultaneously to trigger magnification.

To disable magnification,

Using CLI:

xfconf-query -s false -c xfwm4 -p /general/zoom_desktop

Using GUI:

Find Settings Editor in your menu (if you can't, just run xfce4-settings-editor), select the xfwm4 channel and uncheck the zoom_desktop value.

Attribution: Ask Ubuntu: How can I disable Alt-Scroll zoom in XFCE4.

To disable sticky keys,

Using CLI:

xfconf-query -s false -c accessibility -p /StickyKeys

Using GUI:
- Accessibility > Keyboard > Use sticky keys; or
- Find Settings Editor in your menu (if you can't, just run xfce4-settings-editor), select the accessibility channel and uncheck the Sticky_Keys value.
