[Bug 9441] Re: the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings
This is still not fixed or is a regression in xenial. Should we re-open or create a new request? I can replicate this with keepass2 and virtualbox. Replication steps: 1. Go to gnome tweak tool and change "Show location of pointer" to "ON" 2. attempt to use the ctrl key such as ctrl + c, all ctrl key combinations are swallowed. 3. Go to gnome tweak tool and change "Show location of pointer" to "OFF" 4. attempt to use the ctrl key such as ctrl + c, everything should work as intended. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9441 Title: the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/9441/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The solution for me, using xfce4, was to logout and into gnome-shell. Then I could change the setting... Using gconf-editor didn't work, the option was checked when I looked at it in gnome's control center under mouse. When I loged back into xfce4, all was/is good. xev reports ctl as it should. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9441 Title: the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/9441/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 9441] Re: the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings
I had the locate cursor option turned on for at least a week before this bug bit me. For some reason, though other programs are ok (I'm sure I used Ctrl+Z in lots of other tools), Ctrl+Z in Blender was interpreted as just plain 'Z', which toggles wireframe instead of Undo-ing. Turning off the locate cursor option fixed it right away. Just leaving this here in case someone goes looking for 'Ctrl+Z', 'Blender', 'wireframe', and 'bug'... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9441 Title: the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/9441/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 9441] Re: the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings
Kirill: I am commenting as the member of the VirtualBox development team in charge of keyboard handling in Linux. My guess is that the locate pointer tool places a passive grab [1] on the control key. What this means if it is correct is that as of the point when the grab is placed no other application can see the control key being pressed or released unless the tool explicitly allows it (I presume it doesn't); however they can still (usually) see combinations including the control key, such as Ctrl-Scroll in Frederik's example above. Certainly VirtualBox relies on being able to spot individual keypresses and releases and doesn't try to monitor key combinations to work around this sort of thing: we take the point of view that if the user wants to take keys away from us for other purposes they should know what they are doing, and we don't want to add complexity to deal with it and risk creating bugs for other people. If there were a nice way of spotting passive grabs by other applications we might warn the user, but I don't know of any way other than trying to grab every key ourselves to see which ones we can't get.
