Bug Description

Using https://launchpad.net/~mir-team/+archive/system-compositor-testing

I find the system compositor is:
 (a) Visible on every VT (Alt+Fn), but frozen on some; and
 (b) Responds on multiple VTs (usually Alt+F2/F4/F6); and
 (c) Randomly changes which VTs it responds on depending on which Fn keys you have used.

This is very confusing and inconsistent.

Robert,

Please check my list of installed packages in comment #3. AFAIK I should have your fix for this bug. But the bug remains.

Fix Released!

This was resolved when we landed explicit support for VT switching.
