** Summary changed: - After closing last window on workspace, the keyboard doesn't react at any keypress + When last window on workspace doesn't accept focus, the keyboard doesn't react at any keypress ** Description changed: How to reproduce : - Have a workspace with only one window - Close it - Try to switch on a another workspace or use any keyboard shortcut : nothing happens - Only way to get back to a working configuration is to switch to another application by clicking an app in the launcher I don't always experience this bug, i'm having it right now on my desktop but not on my laptop (both running precise). I've experienced it on other machines and on Oneiric too. I've asked a question about this on AskUbuntu a while ago ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/89046/keyboard-shortcuts-dont-work-when- no-window-left-on-current-workspace ) at that time I had a rather exotic desktop configuration, but now I run Unity with almost no setting changed and it still happens. + === update === + + This bug happends when there is a sticky window on the desktop that + doesn't accept focus (covergloobus does that, but I've also written a + short Python program in comment #15 that can trigger the bug) + + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: compiz 1:0.9.7.0~bzr2995-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.27-generic 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: - NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 295.20 Mon Feb 6 21:07:30 PST 2012 - GCC version: gcc version 4.6.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.2-16ubuntu1) + NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 295.20 Mon Feb 6 21:07:30 PST 2012 + GCC version: gcc version 4.6.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.2-16ubuntu1) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: - + ApportVersion: 1.94-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,imgpng,resize,mousepoll,regex,vpswitch,wall,snap,place,move,session,gnomecompat,unitymtgrabhandles,grid,animation,mag,expo,fade,workarounds,ezoom,scale,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Tue Mar 6 20:55:14 2012 DistUpgraded: Log time: 2011-10-28 19:49:58.245809 DistroCodename: precise DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: - nvidia-current, 295.20, 3.2.0-17-generic, x86_64: installed - nvidia-current, 295.20, 3.2.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed - vboxhost, 4.1.8, 3.2.0-17-generic, x86_64: installed - vboxhost, 4.1.8, 3.2.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed + nvidia-current, 295.20, 3.2.0-17-generic, x86_64: installed + nvidia-current, 295.20, 3.2.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed + vboxhost, 4.1.8, 3.2.0-17-generic, x86_64: installed + vboxhost, 4.1.8, 3.2.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: - NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 560] [10de:1201] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) - Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device [1458:352a] + NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 560] [10de:1201] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device [1458:352a] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) JockeyStatus: - xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) - xorg:nvidia_current_updates - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) + xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) + xorg:nvidia_current_updates - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
