Public bug reported:
Just upgraded to 19.10 today. Previously, in 19.04, I could delete a
file from the desktop by clicking on it and hitting the delete key. That
no longer works.
It's probably relevant that it doesn't appear to be possible to direct
keyboard focus to the desktop itself any longer. When I click on an icon
on the desktop and then hit the delete key, the keystroke is sent to the
window that had focus before I clicked. This appears to be true
regardless of what window focus mode I'm using (Click to Focus, Focus on
Hover, or Secondary-Click). Note that the description of Secondary-
Click, "Window is focused when hovered with the pointer. Hovering the
desktop removes focus from the previous window," does not appear to be
true. When I select that focus mode and hover my mouse over the desktop
I remain focused on the previously focused window.
