Public bug reported: Steps to Reproduce: Open Torchlight (may also happen with other games) In the settings, activate Fullscreen mode During gameplay, press and hold Alt to show items on the ground Release Alt Quickly tap Alt (do not hold it)
What should happen: Item labels are displayed briefly What actually happens: The desktop is displayed with the HUD for Tochlight open When playing a game in fullscreen mode, (specifically Torchlight in this case, installed through the Software Centre), I tapped Alt as this is a control used by the game (See attached screencast for more details). However, Unity picked up the keystroke and thought I wanted to open the HUD, minimizing the game and dropping me to the desktop. I then had to swich the game to windowed mode and back to fullscreen to carry on playing. This obviously shouldn't happen - if a user is playing a game in fullscreen, keystrokes that may represent game commands should be ignored by the desktop shell/window manager.
