Description Jonathan Marten 2011-08-08 08:38:00 UTC

Version: unspecified (using Devel)
OS: Linux

The Walk Through Desktop List and its corresponding Reverse action no longer appear to be working correctly. In System Settings - Common Appearance and Behaviour - Shortcuts and Gestures - Global keyboard Shortcuts, Walk Through Desktops is assigned to Ctrl+Tab and Walk Through Desktops (Reverse) is assigned to Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

Firstly, these keyboard shortcuts do not appear to be active on startup (KDE login). Pressing either of them does nothing. To get them to work it is necessary to go to System Settings as above, clear the shortcut, Apply the settings, set the custom shortcut, then Apply again, for each of the 2 shortcuts.

Secondly, once made to work as above pressing Ctrl-Tab displays the desktop list, and subsequent presses of Tab with Ctrl held highlight each desktop preview in turn (I have 4). But releasing Ctrl does not switch to the highlighted desktop, the original desktop remains.

This seems to have started happening within about the last 2-3 weeks or so, and is still present in trunk as of today.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up shortcut keys and attempt to perform actions as above.

Actual Results:
The shortcut keys are not noticed upon first login.

When the settings are changed and reverted, the keys are acted upon but the desktop is not switched.

Expected Results:
Keys should be active at login, and should switch desktop on release.

Compositing: active (OpenGL)
Multiple monitors: no
Graphics driver: NVidia 275.09.07
