This still affects me in Ubuntu 20.04. Fully closing Rhythmbox does not free up the media keys, and if you reopen it later the media keys will not work (and won't work for other programs either)
Different ways to reproduce (note that the only way to have the media keys working again is to restart the machine) 1. Verify that the media keys work (restart the machine if not) 2. close rhythmbox with right click on the taskbar icon, use "stop & quit" 3. reopen rhythmbox, the media keys do not work. 1. Verify that the media keys work (restart the machine if not) 2. End the 'rhythmbox' process 3. reopen rhythmbox, the media keys do not work. 1. Verify that the media keys work (restart the machine if not) 2. in rhythmbox go to preferences -> plugins -> click preferences for any plugin 3. click the 'restart' next to "Restart the player for the changes to take effect" 4. once rhythmbox restarts, the media keys do not work anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036489 Title: Closing Rhythmbox doesn't close Rhythmbox and causes confusing key- binding behavior To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1036489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
