unclutter -keystroke does not work

[David Balažic]

Binary package hint: unclutter

When run as "unclutter -keystroke", the cursor is never hidden.
I tested with firefox running.
"unclutter -idle 5" works just fine.

Vesion :
unclutter 8-3

System : Ubuntu 6.06

I can confirm this Bug. It's still relevant for Ubuntu Feisty.

I'm using Lucid 10.4. The -keystroke option works in gedit for me ever since I changed the option in /etc/default/unclutter (otherwise, the default overrode the keystroke). However, -keystroke still doesn't work in Firefox.

[David Balažic (xerces8)]

Jim, gedit has its own cursor hiding, what you observed has nothing to do with unclutter.

Ubuntu 11.04 (updated from 10.10): the problem is still present
unclutter version is 8-14

*ahem* The problem is still present in 13.10... Is unclutter dead?
