The phenomenon happens every time with certain shortcuts (those pointing to thunderbird, firefox or a custom shortcut to nautilus in a specific folder), never with others (custom shortcut for gnome-terminal in a specific folder), and "depends" with yet others (it seems that a shortcut to Gedit will pop up nicely in the foreground if gedit is closed, but otherwise will open a new document and keep the gedit window in the background). The phenomenon happens on two fresh installs of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It basically kills all the interest of defining efficient keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
