What I am observing still is thus: Background: Windows is running in VirtualBox, running in a Unity session. The VirtualBox keyboard lock is active.
If I tap the Super key, the Windows start menu and the Dash Home open. (Bad: Dash Home shouldn't open.) If I hold the Super key for half a second and release it, the Windows start menu opens but the Dash Home does not. (Good.) Ditto with the Alt key; on tap, the HUD opens when it shouldn't. However, if I tap Alt+Tab, the HUD also opens (which is inconsistent, suggesting that the Alt key gets through to Unity but the Tab key doesn't). @Ryan, @Daniel: the issue you are having sounds to me like it's may be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control- center/+bug/991873 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704231 Title: Unity blocks other programs from receiving <super> key-press events.
