Public bug reported: I have set the left windows key to launch the terminal (with System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts). If I press it once, the terminal pops up. If I close the terminal using the X and immediately hit the left windows key to launch it again, it doesn't work. Even if I press it several times after that it still won't work. It needs some time to pass before the shortcut works again. I estimate it at about 10 seconds.
This appears to be consistenly reproducible on my system. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Needs Info -- Keyboard shortcut doesn't always work https://launchpad.net/bugs/27467 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
