Public bug reported: As long as the Compiz window manager is active the shift key does not work the way it should. Disabling compiz and selecting Metacity also makes the shift key work again. Could be that i am posting a duplicate bugreport but i was unable to find the one i found a couple of weeks ago.
I am fairly new to linux and therefor i dont know how to produce handy terminal output, if anyone could explain to me how to produce usefull information i would be happy to do so. I am currently running the following: compiz 0.7.4 Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Kernel: 2.6.24-19-generic i686 GNU/Linux Renderer: GeForce Go 7300/PCI/SSE2 Driver Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 169.12 And really usefull... and i think this should point in the direction of a solution. I found a workaround when searching google for this problem some time ago. If i press CTLR followed by the shift key and keep the shift key down i can use it the normal way. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: compiz manager shift window -- 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
