Running Hardy & this bug just happened to me: Switching from 'compiz' to 'metacity' fixed it, Instantly!
Before things went wrong (the shift key problem) I had installed brightside. Changed the setting in 'Compiz Fusion Icon/settings manager/Effects/paint fire on screen' I enabled it and chose the shift key ...Change from meta to fusion ...Reload windows manager & @@@@@@@ .....re-tried to enable the 'fire effect' with the shift key enabled and cannot use any shifted characters ... switching back....NO, no need to swicth to metacity ...Just disable the fire effect. @@@@@@ Advice for now don't use the shift key with effects and this has to be a bug in compiz. -- Shift key not working with compiz as active window manager. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
