Locked input while recording a shortcut

[Alexander Lazarević]

- open unity-control-center
- select "Keyboard"
- select "Shortcuts" tab
- select "Screenshots" from the left list
- select "Take a screenshot" from the right list

Now the unity control-center expects some keystrokes to be pressed for that shortcut "New accelerator"

- DON'T press any keys but
- select "Typing" tab

The "Typing" tab will be shown.

- select "Shortcuts" tab

Nothing happens. In fact clicking on anything on the screen has no effect. The screen seems to be locked.

- press "d" key

Out of the blue you get the "The shortcut "D" cannot be used ..." Dialog.

- click "Cancel"

Input seems to be unlocked again

This is a very confusing situation (not only for ubuntu beginners). To resolve it I would either recommend that

a) It should not be possible to select the "Typing" tab during key stroke recording

or

b) Selecting the "Typing" tab during key stroke recording should abort that recording
