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.
