pressing <ctrl+alt>+ right or left arrow does not switch workspaces. This bug seems to come and go randomly. one minute it is working the next it's not working. this is on a dell xps m1330. on intrepid beta.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 9.04? Thanks in advance.

This is still an issue for me on Intrepid(with proposed updates). I would be happy to test it out on Ubuntu 9.04 after it is at least beta. The issue comes and goes, so i have to use the system for a while to see the problem.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 9.04 but it never works for me.

Linux lordmetroid-stationary 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

mike, did upgrading solve the issue for you?

[mike hancock (javaiscoolmike)]

as far as I remember this was never resolved for me, but I am no longer using Gnome(now using kubuntu) so I can't really test this. If it helps the problem seemed to be rather random; some times it worked and some times it didn't; sorry can no longer help with this.
