Bug Description
I use Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (all updates are installed) with Unity 2D and I've stumbled upon this issue: sometimes shortcut keys stop working in some windows. For instance, I have these windows opened usually: Google Chrome, Terminal, Skype, Pidgin. Sometimes everything is OK and shortcuts work no matter what window I hit them from, however, hotkeys hit from Skype (most often) or Pidgin (less often) do not work time after time (just no reaction when I hit them), but they still work from Terminal or Google Chrome. Moreover, not all hotkeys are affected, the problem holds only for locking the computer (Ctrl + Alt + L) and other custom shortcuts like executing some command or launching a program (I used `zenity --entry` with `[Super | Ctrl] + [some letter: K, N, etc]` for testing). I expect that all mentioned shortcuts work no matter what window they are fired from. I also should mention, that I had no such problem on Ubuntu 11.10.
affects: | gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) → gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) |
