The Shortcuts overlay is brought up by pressing and holding the Super key, yes. This is not a bug, it is the way Unity is designed to work.
If you are having trouble tapping the Super key within the default amouont of time to bring up the dash, there are some configuration options that can help you. You can either increase the "Dash tap duration option" or disable the "Enable Shortcut Hints Overlay" option using the "CompizConfig Settings Manager" (ccsm), a tool that can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Center. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
