It doesn't matter which application I start, at least I could reproduce this behaviour with every one I tried. So: 1) Open up any application you like, f.e. the gnome terminal, on a empty workspace. 2) Close it, f.e. by pressing Alt+F4 - it doesn't actually matter which way you close it. => Somehow the main focus remains on the already dismissed window, i.e. it shows up at the top panel. In the discribed case it would look like that: 1) I press ctrl+alt+T -> gnome terminal appears 2) I close it by pressing alt+F4 3) The default unity top panel still reads "Terminal" and I still can click on the menu of the gnome terminal. Now the unity keybindings, f.e. ctrl+alt+[left/right/up/down] or even the print button do not work. 4) After clicking at the desktop it vanishes and the focus is lost => the unity hotkeys are usable.
Someone over at askubuntu.com [http://askubuntu.com/questions/49670 /workspace-switcher-bindings-do-not-always-work] said it may be up to the setting for the focus tracking behaviour in CCSM, but I tried every of the mentioned options there and it didn't change anything. I'm sorry that the title of this thread is misleading - I simply wasn't aware of the fact that not only the workspace switcher doesn't work but all of unitys keybindings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/800278 Title: Workspace switcher bindings do not always work?
