Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
Reproduction Steps:
open gnome-keyboard-properties
Layouts > Options -> Alt/Win key behaviour
[o] Left Alt is swapped with Left Win
Afterwards, in all applications the alt key is no longer accessible.
I.e.,
- in GEdit, it doesn't switch between documents 1-9
- in GNOME Terminal or xterm it doesn't pass alt-key combinations to
shell
This only happens under Unity. Under other WMs, e.g. Window Maker,
gnome-settings-daemon successfully sets the layout, and the alt key
still works.
