Bug Description
I have installed Oneiric and mounted my old home folder. Since then my shortcut keys to arrange windows has stopped working correctly.
Ctrl alt 4, 6 and 9 are the only ones broken. 4 and 6 only does half the screen , where before it cycled through all the available positions like the other buttons do.
And ctrl alt 9 does exactly what ctrl alt 8 does, so it can never position the window into top right.
I have tried running a script, found somewhere online, that refreshes all the shortcutkeys and I have tried checking the settings in compiz. under grid the "put top right" option says ctrl alt 9. Tried removing it, which broke the function completely and then adding again and still it does "put top" (ctrl alt 8)
I use these combos quite frequently and it's quite annoying.
Any ideas? I have also tried the unity --reset command line. makes no difference
