looking a bit more, indeed the gnome-shell behaviour changed as described in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/merge_requests/208/
They changed it to have to maintain the modifier and cycle through the configs by pressing the letter then, which doesn't work when you have a key 'faking the event' (which is what the upstream bug is about). To support that usecase again they changed back in 3.30, which means it should work in 18.10. Could you try there if the issue is indeed resolved for you? If so we should backport https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/fcdac69e to bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772811 Title: different behaviors for switch display mode between xenial and bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1772811/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
