Public bug reported:
Before upgrading from 10.10 to 11.10 I used a lot of shortcuts of the
type Super+letter like Super+T for terminal and Super+F for Chrome. I
also used Gnome Do with the shortcut Super+space for some other
applications that I didn't have a shortcut for. Now, in 11.10, I
modified the shortcut for the launcher from just Super to Super+space
since it allows me to use Super for my old shortcuts and the dash menu
replaces Gnome Do.
It works almost perfectly except that there is a weird behaviour with
Super+F and Super+A (I'll only mention Super+F from now on for
simplicity). When I login, Super+F works perfectly by opening a Chrome
window each time. The problems start when I use the Super+space shortcut
to call the launcher/dash menu, since Super+F will almost always stop
working until I logout (sometimes it only happens at the second time I
do Super+space)! Even weirder, it doesn't happen if I open the launcher
or the dash menu with the mouse instead of the Super+space shortcut,
i.e. Super+F keeps working in this case no matter how many times I open
the dash menu.
My opinion is that this has something to do with the fact that Super+F
and Super+A were shortcuts for the dash menu for searching files and
folders and for applications, but they still work as Super+space+F(A) so
its not like they are overriding my custom shortcuts...
Any idea why this is happening and how to correct this?
