Bug Description
Running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 laptop. Problem exists on both on-board and external keyboard.
When i press the up, left or right arrow keys, a window pops up of a screenshot of the desktop, prompting me to save or cancel. The same thing happens when I hit Del Home PgUp PgDn, End. However, pressing the Windows Key and the corresponding above mentioned keys will work.
If I forget to press the Windows key may system hangs with all the Take Screenshot popups that appear. Is there a way to make them work without the Windows Key press?
I have tried setting System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layout Options > Misc Compatibility Options > Shift with Numpad keys work as in MS Windows, and it worked the first time I set it. However, after reboot the effect was gone, although the option was still selected.
It functions intermittently. Sometimes the arrow keys work and then stop working after a reboot.
Discovery: Scroll lock and numlock must be OFF for arrow keys and PGUP PGDN Del Home and End keys to work.
