Public bug reported:
Hello.
I am not sure if Metacity is indeed the culrpit here, but this doesn't happen
with compiz so I assume it is.
When I configure a custom shortcut to exectute a command (for example: xterm
with alt+x), Pressing alt+x doesn't always work and when it does work it
normally requires quite a long press.
This is very different than the behaviour in gnome/metacity up to Ubuntu 11.04
which executed my configured application the moment I pressed the key
combination.
In ubuntu 12.04 I managed to work around it by changing the default terminal to
xterm and setting the "launch terminal" shortcut to alt-x, other keyboard
shortcuts I had were still sluggish but at least my run terminal shortcut
worked.
In ubuntu 12.10 it stays sluggish no matter what I do and in many cases it
simply "misses" my alt+x keypress
The odd part is that any other shortcut I set (changing window size,
etc...) works fine in a snap, only applications executions are running
slow.
Basically it used to launch in a snap and now it simply doesn't.
Happens on any installation I have (about 5 different machines, one freshly
installed in a VM just to see that it's not an upgrade issue).
I tried it with a new fresh user just to make sure I don't have old
configurations that conflict with it and it is still sluggish.
Not a critical bug but it is a very annoying regression.
Thanks,
Dave.
