I guess the question is what "rapid" means. In Unity 2d, I can press the Alt key, hold it for a second or two, then release it, and it will invoke the HUD. On Unity 3d, this (i.e. a two second hold of ALT) will not invoke the HUD. I never realized before this how often I hover-tap ALT while Emacsing. ;) >We're unable to reproduce this behaviour, and as a result we've no idea >what's wrong. > >To try help us, can you run "xev" in a terminal and then >1. tap the alt key to open HUD >2. tap it again to close it >3. Try an Alt+Tab >Then attach the xev output to this bug. I can also invoke the HUD if I hit Alt-Tab *very* quickly. It could be a timing thing. E.g. it's possible that I'm hitting Alt just slightly sooner than TAB, and that when I do land on TAB, the HUD's already invoked. The same movement afaict does not invoke the HUD under 3d though. >Anything additional might give us a clue. You using external USB keyboard? >Is it wireless?

Thanks in advance, we really want to fix this for everyone -Gerry My Unity 2d environment is a MacBook Pro, running Precise in a Fusion VM. Standard internal keyboard, no xmodmapping going on, standard English layout. Alt is mapped to the physical Apple command (cloverleaf) key. I'm fairly certain this isn't hardware or even VM environment specific though, as I've talked to several other Unity 2d users on various (more normal) configurations and this is a very common problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947468 Title: Alt summoning of heads-up-display interferes with Emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/947468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
