Public bug reported: Intrepid: Global shortcuts which use <Control> as their only modifier key do not work, with some exceptions.
Pressing any such combination twice in rapid succession usually works on the second press (but not the first). If the shortcut-registering application has focus, the combination always works. QT applications (Amarok, Katapult) and the GNOME Keyboard Shortcuts control panel are confirmed affected. This is confirmed to occur with both Compiz and Metacity. Searching using gconf-editor strongly suggests that conflicting shortcuts are not registered. This issue started recently (on or about the 26th of September), and may be related to a package update. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: combination control global key shortcut ** Description changed: Intrepid: Global shortcuts which use <Control> as their only modifier key do not work, with some exceptions. - Pressing any such combination twice in rapid succession usually on the - second press (but not the first). + Pressing any such combination twice in rapid succession usually works on + the second press (but not the first).
