Description Frank Ansari 2013-09-07 14:28:33 UTC

Description of problem:
I need the key combination alt-shift in emacs and need to get permanently rid of the Gnome usage for this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Gnome 3.8

How reproducible:
alt-< means: goto first line, alt-> means goto last line
Now I go to "settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> typing".
alt-shift is put to "modifiers-only switch to next source"
I can disable this.

Now I can use alt-shift in emacs. But when I log off and on again (or reboot my PC) it behaves like this:

When I check the keyboard settings the key combination is still disabled.

When I use it in emacs it is activated again and so I cannot use it.

Now I disable it again in keyboard settings and then it works.

So I have to disable it always once when I want to work with emacs.

This is really annoying and I consider it as a bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Disableling alt-shift as keyboard shortcut is not permanent.

Expected results:
Disableling alt-shift as keyboard shortcut should be permanent and not actiavted on its own or by any application.

Any ideas? How can I get rid of Alt-Shift permanently?

Comment 2 Frank Ansari 2013-12-05 14:57:24 UTC

Fixed. I changed to Arch Linux. There it works as expected.

Comment 3 Frank Ansari 2013-12-28 19:34:11 UTC

Fixed also in Fedora 20. 

Obviously it is fixed because it was a Gnome issue and both Arch Linux and Fedora 20 are using Gnome 3.10.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 19:45:59 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 17:06:29 UTC

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
