Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager If "Do nothing" is selected for "When laptop lid is closed" and the laptop lid is closed, the external monitor never goes to sleep. If the lid is left open, the external monitor goes to sleep as it should. To reproduce: 1. Set "Do no

No, apparently due to the complexity and depth of the issue, it doesn't qualify as a papercut. Meanwhile Mozilla has fixed the issue in Firefox by simply redesigning the "Save As..." dialog entirely. While I welcome the progress, it's frustrating that this oft-used interface will no longer be stan

Thanks for the workaround, this was annoying me as my laptop takes forever to struggle out of hibernation! I agree that the language is ambiguous. In the rest of the dialog box, suspend or hibernate are used explicitly - "sleep" is more of a Windows word I think. I don't mind which terminology is

Ok, I checked on Mac OS (10.5.something) and they solve it as follows: When navigating folders by keyboard, pressing tab ONCE takes you from the folder list straight back to the Name field, as it does in Windows (the layouts are different, but the effect is the same). There are only four "tab sto

Thanks for your note David. I'm not suggesting to change the behaviour of the Find As You Type feature that allows quickly jumping through directory structures by typing folders' initial letters. Personally I use this all the time and think it's great. The main issue here, especially for non-advan

I have the same problem on Gutsy (final). I have dual screen (twinview, not xinerama). As soon as I switch back from another user, the screens go blank (light gray). I can usually still switch back to the previous user successfully, or I can switch to a console, or I can use CTRL + ALT + Backspace
