This is very annoying that this bug was NEVER fixed since it appeared in 12.10...Every now and then there has been a "fix released" but that changed nothing and it is generally not available for backport. Also once in a while appears again in this thead the buggy solution to change CCSM preference to backend; which will nuke Unity in an unrecoverable bad way!
Oddly enough, the bug disappeared for me when I switched to 13.04 - and I have never seen it again while using Raring. That was fine for me: I only had to skip 12.10 altogether and then I could keep current again when Raring became available.
I was so very disappointed when I found out that 13.10 reintroduced the same problem (for me at least) and that it would again be another unusable version for yet another 6 mo...or perhaps even more.
I don't understand why this ordeal has been going on for so long, over 3 different versions of Ubuntu. Isn't it something important to fix? Many people use shortcuts and get used to using them: why would the convenience of custom shortcuts be included in the dist if it does not work ?
