Hey, Daniel, please don't sound as if I had questioned the whole workflow for your great work with triaging desktop bugs. It was certainly not my intention to do that; my apologies if it sounded otherwise.
What I brought up was that tag - and the way you said in comment #3 you use it occasionally. In summary, what I want to say is simply: Use that strategy with caution. As regards the possible approach I mentioned, let's take bug #1913222 as an example (with the same bug reporter as this one). - Upstream in nature (and reported upstream) - Low importance - Very unlikely to be patched in Ubuntu - "groovy" tag even if the behavior is not specific to groovy That combo makes me think that "won't fix" would be a proper status right now. I don't see how it's useful to keep it open in Ubuntu's bug tracker for a few months, and then close it in July due to EOL (which would be a reason hard to understand for the bug reporter, who will most likely see the same thing in hirsute). -- 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/1913218 Title: Obscure shortcut selector behaviour Status in gnome-control-center: Unknown Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I'm trying to set a shortcut for keyboard layout switching, but it's impossible to use some keyboard buttons. Also, pressing some combinations leads to unexpected results. For example: - Shift+Ctrl - impossible to set - Shift+Alt - impossible to set - Ctrl+Alt - impossible to set - Shift+Ctrl+Alt - impossible to set - Shift+Alt+Space - this combination is being detected as "Shift+Space" - Cmd (Win) + any two or three keys is impossible to set (works with 4 keys though). Since Shift+Ctrl and Shift+Alt are very popular shortcuts (due to being default in Windows for ages), not being able to use them in Ubuntu is a pain. Reproduction steps: - Open gnome-control-center - Go to "Keyboard shortcuts" - Try to change any shortcut to one from my list System info: Ubuntu 20.10 gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.38.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.38.1-1ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/1913218/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
