Public bug reported:
I'm running Ubuntu MATE 18.04 on an HP laptop, with mate-dock-applet
0.85-1. I'm using a tweaked version of the Mutiny panel layout, but the
same thing happens in any layout that involves the mate-dock-applet.
I use an Fn modifier key plus the F2 and F3 keys to adjust brightness,
and when I do, the Super keys stop working to launch the applications.
When I adjust brightness via the Power Management menu it doesn't have
an issue. I can get the functionality back by switching panel layouts
and restoring it to the old one, presumably because it reloads the
applet and rebinds the keys.
The only keys that appear to cause the problem are the brightness
control keys. I use the Fn key plus F7 and F8 to adjust volume, and that
does not have the same problem.
This might be something highly specific to my machine, so let me know if
I need to provide more information. I dug through the code a bit, but it
was my first foray into anything like this, so I didn't get much.
