Holding super key does not show shortcuts overlay.

[Sudeepto Dutta]

I have a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 x64 . Recently I noticed that while holding Super key (Windows key by default) the shortcuts overlay does not appear anymore. The launcher along with the icon numbers appear just fine but the shortcuts overlay is not visible anymore.

Now when I disable the workspace switcher from System setttings -> Appearance -> Behaviour Tab -> "Uncheck" Enable Workspace , everything works just fine .

I have a 1366 x 768 monitor .

I want shortcuts overlay to appear irrespective of whether workspace is enabled or not.

I am attaching Image file when Workspace switcher is enabled (shortcut overlay does not appear).
