I can easily reproduce this bug on my system, if i close the last window in a workspace, the unity panel still has its name (it has focus even though it no longer exists) and no keyboard shortcut works (except the super key). Only way to get shortcuts back is to get a real window focused (doesn't matter if you start a new application or go to one already running in another workspace).
Pretty annoying, especially if you close a window by using the keyboard, since you have to switch to the mouse to get back to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757435 Title: keyboard input lost, when window focus lost in unity -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
