You are right, I know neither. My situation was the following: A fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 with a home partition from a former installation, but with ~/.config*, ~/.gnome*, ~/.compiz* completetly removed. >From this installation, when activating "normal" desktop effects, the shift >key stopped working. The solution of installing compizconfig-settings-manager and pressing "Reset to defaults" worked, but was complicated by the fact that I could not get administrator rights, because my password does include capital letters, for which I need the shift key...
So my conclusion was: It is a configuration issue as you said, but one that comes from the standard Ubuntu configuration and not one that comes from a user messing around. With that in mind I thought that it should be easy (compared to other bugs) to fix. And I also thought that not being able to insert text with your keybord is a major problem for users. So if I really have messed up the configuration myself then it is off cause not easy to fix :-) and does not deserve a higher priority. -- Shift key stops working in certain configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
