Bug Description
Binary package hint: metacity
fergal@notpot:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
Not entirely sure if this is in metacity, please redirect if necessary.
When I set Ctrl-Tab as the key combo for "Switch to the workspace on the right of the current workspace" it works but it behaves oddly.
When I hold Ctrl down and hit Tab once, I move one to the right and the desktop list is visible.
When I hit Tab again, the desktop list disappears and I don't move.
When I hit Tab a 3rd time, I move one to the right and the desktop list is visible.
When I hit it Tab 4th time, the desktop list disappears again and I don't move.
And so on.
So if I want to move N desktops to the right I have to press Tab 2*N times.
For other key combos (including Ctrl-Alt-Right, the default), the desktop list does not disappear and every press of Right Arrow causes a move to the right.
Also, it is not possible to change directions without releasing all keys.
So if I hold Ctrl and hit Tab, I move right.
If I keep holding Ctrl and hit Shift-Tab, I move right again. I should have moved left.
