Bug Description

at step 6 : unity open the files lens
at step 7 : unity open the trash window

So, it seems that with ctrl-alt, unity uses the old layout (which I removed), and with Super, it uses the correct layout. Remark that if I uses ctrl-alt-f3, the computer uses the azerty layout.

I have a similar problem. I have always been using Dvorak. After I upgraded from Ubuntu 10 without Unity, to Ubuntu 11 with Unity, ctrl-shift-T works only if I press it according to the QWERTY layout. On a fresh install with Dvorak, ctrl-shift-t works with the Dvorak layout.
