Public bug reported: I might have fast fingers, but I'm sloppy on the keyboars. I use alt- tab frequently.... I also tend to tap alt accidentally afterward. This has revealed some sort of bug in Unity.
Tap alt, you get to type a command, like that... Alt-tab to switch to a new app, then tap alt (guess I'm a little undecisive sometimes) and then tap alt again. Now the focus is gone... Dunno where... Happens after alt-tab, alt alt, just about every time. Subsequent alt, alt, returns focus where it belongs, but that's a lot of alt tapping, and not entirely clear, took a little while to figure out the exact key sequence, because I wasn't intending for focus to vanish, It may be shifting to the application alt-tab switched from. Ahahahahah that's where it goes. Was wondering why text showd up where it didn't belong! -Joe Guess it's a feature now, because it's been documented. ;) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: unity-2d-shell 5.12.0-0ubuntu1.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-31.50-generic 3.2.28 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-31-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Sep 16 13:08:33 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100427.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity-2d UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-09-12 (3 days ago) ** Affects: unity-2d (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051642 Title: unity 12.04LTS alt-tab, alt alt sends focus to previous app To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/1051642/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
