[Bug 741869] Re: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs.
The behaviour is much better after patching but for example in VMware Workstation (or Player) some problems persist: When the keyboard is grabbed (mouse is in the window of a VM with VMware Tools) and the keys (Super or Alt) are pressed nothing happens in Unity as expected. But when the keyboard is ungrabbed (mouse leaves the window) shortly after the keypress Unity behaves as if the key was pressed again. Test case: 1. In VMware Workstation (or Player) start a VM with VMware Tools installed. 2. Move the mouse cursor inside the window of the VM. 3. Press Super or Alt. 4. In less than 2 seconds move the mouse cursor outside of the window. 5. Nothing should happen in Unity but Unity actually behaves as if the key (Super or Alt) was pressed again. It seems that there is a timeout for this behaviour. When the keyboard is ungrabbed after more than approximately 3 seconds then nothing happens in Unity as expected. Alternative test case (does not require VMware Tools but is not so annoying.): 1. In VMware Workstation (or Player) start a VM. 2. Grab the keyboard in the VM (Ctrl+G or mouse click). 3. Press Alt. (Super does not demonstrate this problem completely in this variant.) 4. In less than 2 seconds ungrab the kyboard by pressing Ctrl+Alt. 5. Nothing should happen in Unity but Unity actually behaves as if the key (Alt) was pressed again. (With Super Dash only flashes shortly.) ...but since this problem does not show up when the VM is in full screen mode then it seems that the bugfix in Unity behaves correctly as described in this case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741869 Title: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/741869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@pabouk: Mh, yeah... We actually have a timeout of 2 seconds during which we wait for an ungrab event to happen in order to try to open a view. This is actually a kind of a feature in order to make sure that if a menu is open and quickly closed or an ungrab event happens quickly enough, we can still open again the requested overlay. We might probably reduce that timeout to a different value, though.

@pabouk: It depends: I think that virtualbox should actually grab the keyboard (when focused) even when additions are installed if they want to get all the key bindings without making the WM to interact with them (as virt- manager or citrix do); while yes, to make the super key not to be always handled by unity, compiz needs to change (quite a lot) and actually I think this is out of our scope, since it would be a too big refactor and it might break other assumptions we have. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741869 Title: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/741869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The trusty-proposed packages with suposedly contain fix for this bug didn't actually fix it. The Super key is still intercepted in windowed mode and Dash opens in both VirtualBox (tested with 12.04.4 and 14.04) That's the correct behavior for now (see the test case, a prerequisite it full screen), since when VirtualBox doesn't grab the keyboard, the unity host gets the event and it will display the dash if needed. and in regular session. When running VirtualBox in fullscreen the Dash opens only in virtual machine. Fine Also in virt-manager the Super key isn't intercepted when you open Dash but is intercepted when you hold the Super key to display shortcuts overlay. Mh right... I actually think this is sane since the overlay should alway be available when requested, since it doesn't need input and thus it doesn't create any trouble. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741869 Title: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/741869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My opinion is that even though this fix doesn't fix every use case, it does fix many behaviors and it really is the best we can do in Unity. That said, I think we should mark this back to verification-needed with the caveat that not all cases will be fixed.

This is not a duplicate of bug 950160. It might sound similar though. This bug is about Compiz/Unity not honouring keyboard grabs as described in comment #7 (mostly seen with Super and Alt). Bug 950160 however is about other programs not being able to bind Super+any key to a global action. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 950160 Unity blocks other programs from binding globally to Super+* (* = any key) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741869 Title: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/741869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 741869] Re: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs.
This bug is the main cause for bug 950160. Super+P is the only way to tell Windows 8 to toggle external display. It's expected that on new laptops come with Windows 8, BIOS will only sends out Super+P for the hot key to switch external display, and this key will not work in Ubuntu. Super key should not be consumed by Compiz/Unity, if this key is used in combination with other keys. Compiz/Unity is not the only user of the super key. gnome-settings-daemon also uses this key for toggling external display. This is a design conflict between Compiz/Unity and g-s-d. I would like to see a real solution worked out.

[Bug 741869] Re: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs.
As mentioned in duplicate bug 806255: --- FYI, the root cause of this bug appears to be because compiz uses XkbStateNotify, which is part of the X Keyboard Extension. Using this extension has the unfortunate side-effect (by design) of ignoring grabs held by other clients and still giving you key events even when you shouldn't be receiving them. This is documented is the spec: As with all Xkb events, XkbStateNotify events are reported to all interested clients without regard to the current keyboard input focus or grab state. [http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/libX11/specs/XKB/xkblib.html] --- The only remaining fix for this bug is to rewrite the modifier handling code in compiz to not use XkbStateNotify at all. Because that is the root cause of this bug.
