Public bug reported: The Left Control key of my keyboard stopped working properly after the upgrade to bionic.
This is definitely a software problem, as I've been able to get it working by disabling and then re-enabling the 'Pointer location' switch in the Gnome Tweak Tool. The behaviour is that when the button is pressed, it does not act like I would expect (for example, the Ctrl-Tab shortcut in web browsers stops working, or ^C in a terminal window), but instead causes the window to lose focus. (It's still on top, just not 'active') I have no idea which package this should be filed against, and I've no idea what the pathway is for keyboard-related bugs. Some similar problems seem to have been reported on some ASUS laptops - but I'm using a custom desktop PC and have never had issues before. I am running Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic). gnome-tweaks: Installed: 3.28.1-1 Candidate: 3.28.1-1 mutter: Installed: 3.28.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.28.1-1ubuntu1 gnome-shell: Installed: 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gnome-tweaks 3.28.1-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-22.24-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Jun 6 12:32:51 2018 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-09-22 (1352 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python3.6 PackageArchitecture: all Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.6, Python 3.6.5, python3-minimal, 3.6.5-3 PythonDetails: /usr/bin/python2.7, Python 2.7.15rc1, python-minimal, 2.7.15~rc1-1 SourcePackage: gnome-tweaks UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-05-10 (26 days ago) ** Affects: gnome-tweaks (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1775383 Title: Left control key nonfunctional in normal use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweaks/+bug/1775383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
