Ok, I "solved" this issue, by moving to Kubuntu. KDE allows the user to choose what which button should do. So I simply linked the "switch off" command to the button on my keyboard and now it works as before. No idea why Ubuntu is making such a mess of a simple feature like this. Additionally I am now able to have buttons on both sides of the window title bars. What a nice feature on a quite large TV screen.

The said keyboard features a "power off" button that is interpreted by Ubuntu as "Sleep" for some reason. On the 17.04 release it was possible to simply assign the shutdown command to this button and everything was fine. With 17.10 and 18.04 LTS (beta) the behaviour of this button can not be changed. If I try to assign my shutdown command and press the button, my system immediately enters suspend mode. Even if I try to simply read out the key code of the button it will directly go to suspend. Will there be a way of getting back the behaviour of 17.04 so that I can freely choose what this button does? Thanks!
