Bug Description

Using Xubuntu 18.04 daily on Notebook
    product: 80UD (LENOVO_MT_80UD_BU_idea_FM_Lenovo ideapad 110-15ISK)
    vendor: LENOVO
    version: Lenovo ideapad 110-15ISK
    serial: MP16LZHW
    width: 64 bits
Linux Xubuntu-18-04 4.15.0-13-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Sat Mar 17 13:44:27 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When an extra monitor is connected (through HDMI) pressing fn+f10 should only bring up a menu to switch monitors. But instead whiskermenu is opened before the monitor-switching-menu.
No other fn+function key shows the same behaviour where it brings up anything else before it does what it is supposed to do..
I have the super key mapped to open whiskermenu.

Please see: http://i.imgur.com/t0Jmzy6.png to see what I 'm seeing when pressing fn+f10.

Actionparsnip suggests I report this as a bug against wayland.

If there's more information I can provide, please let me know.

Is this a bug? If so: which part of the system is likely to be doing this?

Please run the following command in a terminal window before pressing fn+f10:

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon

Afterwards, attach the log output to this report.

I'll do it as soon as possible; may take some time before I get around doing that, though. Sorry.
