[Bug 1713650] Re: Can't Alt+drag windows at all any more

2020-11-15 Thread Coenraad Loubser
Gnome now differs from every single other window manager. I understand
that alt+drag interferes with some former mac users' workflows, but
really, we've been here for 20 years and they just arrived... why should
we change our workflows to suit theirs?

Can we please revert to the default, and make this a tick-box option
upon installation, or in keyboard settings? (Ie. "Do you use . names
of applications "  or even better, put the option in those
applications.

Can anyone link to where Gnome made this decision?

TLDR: it's super frustrating that Gnome now has a different default
shortcut key from every single other window manager.

Aaand... here I am on 20.04 with the same issue. What does software-
properties-gtk use to prompt for root access - and why doesn't it work?

[Bug 1299836] Re: Alt+mouse move doesn't drag window any more

2018-02-13 Thread Coenraad Loubser
The Gnome project have changed some default key combinations that have
existed for 30+ years. I don't think this is acceptable. For reference,
the new key combination is Super+drag. Alt+Tab has been changed to
Alt+~. And the list goes on.

I think Ubuntu will do well to maintain the age old defaults. 100 000
users each having to spend an hour trying to figure out why their keys
don't work, and having to dig into config files to fix it, is 100 000
man hours wasted doing something really menial.

[Bug 662606] Re: Nautilus crashes when goes to directory with JP2 files

2014-08-21 Thread Coenraad Loubser
This bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

nautilus
Architecture: amd64
Version: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu8

In my case this is a security certificate, but Nautilus tries to extract
a thumbnail as if it's an image file - and crashes.

I have tried this with random data, and by truncating the file, but it
only crashes on the whole file. Obviously I can't share the file.

[Bug 278078] Re: The key repeat delay for the down-arrow, left-arrow, and End keys is longer than the other keys

2008-11-13 Thread Coenraad Loubser
I'm having the same issue on Intrepid on a Compaq NX6110 Laptop.

Clean install of Ubuntu 8.10; Change the keyboard repeat rate under
System Preferences. All keys are affected by the new repeat rate, except
for the left arrow and down arrow. (Can't really test end repeat
rate!)

I do not recall having the same problem with other distributions or
versions of Linux. I will double check and confirm.

My suspicion is either a driver problem, or a hardware problem. Lets
eliminate the latter by confirming that it can indeed work properly.

I am available to do any tests if necessary.
