I note this behavior on some pages that have flash content. It's as if the flash applet has the "focus" and the parent tab (window) doesn't see the CTRL+W keypress.
In addition CTRL+W doesn't work if the page has not yet loaded. For example I have a bookmark folder that has a number of sites listed, I open all of them in tabs (only about 6 pages) then read them and close them as I go with CTRL+W. If i get to a tab that is having a problem due to the server not responding, CTRL+W does nothing. I have to press ESC to stop that tab from attempting to load, then press CTRL+W to close it. I was going to report this as a separate bug, but it seems related to this one. -- could not close window with ctrl-W until I clicked on the background https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
