Martin, the bug as described in the bug description is not random and does not affect default shortcuts. Any other problems should be reported separately, whatever others have commented. Apart from anything else it is always better to report a new bug unless it is absolutely clear that one is seeing identical symptoms to those in the bug description. It is best left to the developers to decide whether a slightly different symptom is actually caused by the same bug.
Also unless anyone is still seeing the bug (as described at the top) on 14.04 it should probably be marked as fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224732 Title: Custom & default keyboard shortcuts don't work Status in libxfce4ui: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just noticed that adding custom keyboard shortcuts does not have any effect. If, for example, I add a custom keyboard shortcut for Evince and set it to Ctrl+Alt+E, pressing this key combination won't launch Evince. * What happens * When I add a custom keyboard shortcut (and bind it to some key combination), the shortcut does not run the associated command. * What I expect * After adding the custom shortcut, I expect that the shortcut launches the associated command.
