I'm seeing this problem too.

What's really confusing for me is:

1. I have two fresh installs of Ubuntu 17.10 on different partitions

2. This bug occurs only on one of those installations; all keybindings work fine on the other one!

3. On the affected installation, the bug also occurs on freshly created, pristine user accounts.

4. I tried to reproduce the bug by making those two installations as similar as possible. E.g. I installed the same packages on the unaffected installation that I had installed on the affected installation - but still the bug did not appear there!

5. The main difference between those installations is that the affected one uses an exitisting home partition where all those application/desktop envirement configuration files of my main user account are existing since a long number of previous Ubuntu releases. While the unaffected installation doesn't use that home partition and a completely fresh home directory was created for the main user account. Well, one could think the bug is caused by some sort of faulty/"rotten" configuration file - but that doesn't explain, why freshly created user accounts on this installation are also affected from this bug (as described in 3. )...

The affected keybindings for me are (at least) application shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + t), Volume keys and the Print-Button (which normally would make a screenshot).

Kind regards,
Jan
