Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with flashback metacity session. I configured the "launch terminal" on the <Super>s shortcut. I also searched and replaced in dconf all other shortcuts with Super+s However, the operation of this shortcut is extremely unreliable : sometimes it does not work at all, some other times it does work but only if i keep the Super key pressed significantly longer. More than that, in order to work i have to : press super -> press s -> release s -> release super. I also configured a Super+e shortcut for "home folder". This one works every time provided that the long sequence above is respected : press super -> press e -> release e -> release super.
I would expect : 1.Super+s to work every time (it seems that something else may "consume" the event but i cannot find what it is, as nothing seems to happen visually when super+s does not launch the terminal. 2. When the shortcuts are processed, i would expect the configured script/execution/action to be executed right after press super-> press shortcut letter, WITHOUT requiring the long super press. What is even more weird is that if i use flashback session with compiz, the shortcuts seem to always work and to work fast (without long super press).
