Ah, quick clarification and update: 1) If I choose "Normal" desktop effects the "shifts right after 500ms" bug goes away, but the Shift-Alt-Tab bug remains.
2) If I manually set the keybinding as Kjell recommends, *all* problems go away. In other words, Shift-Alt-Tab works, and the Switcher window doesn't jump right after a half-second. Digging a bit deeper, I noticed that "/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_windows_backward" was set to the string "disabled". Setting it to "<Shift><Alt>Tab" fixes it, but also just clearing the string (ie, setting it to "") fixes it too. Finally, setting that preference back to "disabled" makes Shift-Alt-Tab stop working (which I guess makes sense), but doesn't recreate the "switcher window jumps right" bug. So, the upshot is this doesn't really seem like a bug, but rather the Metacity application is misconfigured by default to disable Shift-Alt- Tab. Furthermore, my "switcher window jumps right" bug seems unrelated and (now) unreproducible. -david -- Alt+shift+tab does nothing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189895 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
