The bug has just reoccurred - I'm actually adding this comment whilst the Take a break! screen is displayed. ;-)
It turns out that alt-tab works perfectly during the take a break mode, so I can even switch between windows. Alt- triggers the menus as well, so my work is pretty much unimpeded by the typing break. The only thing that doesn't work is the mouse. As stated before, this bug does not occur every time a break is triggered. It's probably worth mentioning that I have dual-monitors, just in case that affects things. -- Typing break does not always lock keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
