The change is from patch 109_fr_oss_space_char.patch which was brought
in with version 2.5-1ubuntu1.1. Changing the behavior of the right
control key was intentional, as requested by reporters in bug #221112 to
fix a bad problem that occurs when using Rhythmbox.
2.5-1ubuntu1.1 is included in precise-updates now, since the SRU request
was accepted and processed. So it's too late to pull the fix, it'd need
a new SRU filed with a reversion.
Note that the patch in question was also included in Lucid and Maverick
as a Ubuntu-specific patch (when RB was the default music player), but
inadvertently got dropped for natty and oneiric. Meanwhile, the patch
was sent upstream and accepted there. While the patch is a behavioral
change compared with oneiric, since it preserves a behavior fixed in
Lucid it seems sensible to me to include it to eliminate the LTS->LTS
behavior change.
As to the proposed alternate solution, I am open to that if it does
indeed fix things for both parties, *and* if it gets taken upstream. I
see that bug reporters have already raised that upstream, so thanks!
What we're going to do is wait and see what upstream thinks about it,
and if/when they commit a fix we can consider pulling it for Ubuntu too.
