Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
For certain applications, such as evince and gedit, if they are the last
application on the launcher, they do not have a shortcut key associated
with them (such as Super+0, Super+1, etc). This affects both the display
and the input: the shortcut will not show if you hold down Super, nor
will it work if you press it.
The steps to reproduce this are quite specific, but I can always reproduce it
on multiple machines. The conditions required to trigger this bug appear to be:
- The app is in a certain set, which I haven't yet determined, but it includes
evince and gedit.
- The app is in the last position on the launcher (not including the
workspaces, apps, files and trash).
- No other apps have been closed since this app was opened.
Obviously this is to be expected if there are more than 10 apps on the
launcher, but this happens with less than 10.
Therefore, example steps to reproduce are:
1. Ensure there are less than 9 icons open on the launcher.
2. Open Evince.
3. Do not open or close anything else.
4. Hold down Super. Notice that the Evince icon has not been assigned a number.
5. Press Super+n where n is the number you were expecting Evince to be
assigned. Notice that it does not do anything.
The fact that evince was doing it led me to bug #768900 (possibly caused
by NoDisplay=True), but that doesn't explain gedit.
A workaround is to open and close something small like Calculator after
opening Evince or Gedit.
I would attach a screenshot but PrintScreen doesn't work while Super is
held down. Is there any way to do this?
