This particular phenomenon depends on your keyboard hardware. Some less expensive keyboard use a reduced number of physical scan lines, and common place where this has an effect is when the up-arrow and left- arrow keys share a common line, meaning the keyboard itself can not distinguish between they keys.
There is, unfortunately, nothing Compiz can do to accommodate this hardware fault since it occurs long before Compiz receives the input even data. ** Changed in: compiz Status: Expired => Won't Fix ** Changed in: unity Status: Expired => Won't Fix ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Won't Fix ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774290 Title: Can't switch to top-left workspace using keyboard Status in Compiz: Won't Fix Status in Unity: Won't Fix Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: unity I can switch from top right to left bottom workspace, by pressing CTRL+ALT+DOWN+RIGHT. I can do the same to the right bottom, left bottom and right top, but no to the left top.
