Ilya Murav'jov from http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 has posted the attached patch to resolve this issue.
It indeed considers the key combinations on release and not on press. I have checked it with combinations of Alt, Shit andTab where : Alt+Tab : next window Alt+Shift+Tab: previous window Alt+Shift: change keyboard layout I have checked it against the karmic version (1.6.4-2ubuntu4.1) and it works. The patch version can be found in my PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~andrikos/+archive/ppa Could someone test it against the version on lucid and update the package? PS: Ilya has told me that the "switch on release" is hard-coded and cannot be turned off. Is this a problem? Would there be people preferring to keep the previous "switch on press" behavior? ** Patch added: ""switch on release" patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38870942/switch_on_release.diff ** Tags added: patch -- Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
