This is still not fixed or is a regression in xenial. Should we re-open or create a new request?
I can replicate this with keepass2 and virtualbox. Replication steps: 1. Go to gnome tweak tool and change "Show location of pointer" to "ON" 2. attempt to use the ctrl key such as ctrl + c, all ctrl key combinations are swallowed. 3. Go to gnome tweak tool and change "Show location of pointer" to "OFF" 4. attempt to use the ctrl key such as ctrl + c, everything should work as intended. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9441 Title: the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings Status in gnome-control-center: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: If 'Locate pointer' mouse feature is enabled (Computer->Desktop preferences->Mouse->Cursors->Locate Pointer), and you try to copy file by Ctrl+dragging, nautilus will stop responding when you release Ctrl or left mouse button to drop copy to destination folder.
