Bug Description
Before upgrading to 12.04 the alt-F10 key combo worked perfectly for maximizing the current window. Now it seems to have a conflict.
The 'hint' window that pops up when the super key is held down actually lists it twice. First under the heading "HUD & menu bar" -- Opens the indicator menu -- and second under the heading "Windows" -- Maximizes the current window.
When I press the combination it opens the "file" menu for whatever window is currently in focus. If I press the combination repeatedly I can eventually get the window to maximize. Also, if I do that for the Terminal after maximizing it has the string ";3~;3~" entered at the prompt. I tried to get a similar behavior from other applications waiting for textual input but seems to only happen in terminal. Not sure if that is pertinent/related but thought it worth mentioning.
