Public bug reported: On any Ubuntu 12.04 system, a shift function key press (such as Shift-F1) will register as a function key press without the shift (F1 in this case). This breaks all types of software.
To see the problem in action, open terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T), Edit-> Keyboard Shortcuts, click an item to change the accelerator then press "Shift-F1". You will see that the Shift does not register, only the F1 key. This was purported to be a fix: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26414 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=1d1338afa6aa555c5f6c83d07fceec43a4d87f0d but I see these changes were included in Rev78 f lp:xkeyboard-config , which made it into 12.04 already if I am reading correctly. ** Affects: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031062 Title: Shift-Fn key registers as Fn key without Shift.
