Description Brandon Sawyers 2017-04-03 14:10:36 UTC
Description of problem:
After doing updates this morning my keyboard shortcut to open a yakuake window (ALT + D) stopped working.

Southern_Gentleman on #fedora suggested that it might be due to the wayland update that I installed and had me swap back over to Gnome on X. This did fix the issue.

A couple of interesting bits of info: Gnome appeared to be grabbing the ALT key before anything else. Trying to use the other ALT key had the same behaviour. Trying to delete the shortcut and recreate failed. I could make it using other keys (Meta + D, for example) but any shortcut using the ALT key would not register and instead popped up a Cancel button on the shortcut entry window.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xwayland-1.19.3-1.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to a normal wayland gnome session
2. shortcuts using ALT fail to work
3. profit?

Actual results:
Keyboard shortcuts using ALT fail to work.

Expected results:
Keyboard shortcuts using ALT should work.

Additional info:
N/A

I'm seeing this too. It's serious because it breaks locking the screen, can this be given a Security flag?

I have the same issue with F26 (not F25) and Gnome applications like Gnome Terminal (I need to use menu to open a new tab).

No issue with Firefox for example.

Comment 3 Couret Charles-Antoine 2017-05-29 21:37:59 UTC
It seems fixed

Comment 4 Couret Charles-Antoine 2017-06-01 20:32:37 UTC
In fact, it's not fixed.
I have a laptop, and I used 2 keyboard layouts, one for the internal keyboard and another for the external. By default, it's the external layout.

So, shortcuts use the default layout every time, even if I changed to use the other layout. In this case, Ctrl+T should be used with Ctrl+J with the second layout...

And I have to change the layout for each opened window to be really effective. Even if Gnome configuration is set to use the same layout for every windows.

I don't know if it is the same bug or another one (and if it's a ibus bug or not).

Comment 5 Couret Charles-Antoine 2017-06-02 08:17:20 UTC
I can reproduce this bug with another laptop by the same way.
It concerned only GNOME applications' shortcuts, Firefox or Bash haven't this bug for instance.

Comment 6 Couret Charles-Antoine 2017-06-02 10:37:44 UTC
I can't reproduce this bug under X.org session, it's Wayland specific.

Comment 7 Brandon Sawyers 2017-06-03 02:58:55 UTC
I finally got a chance to test this again and it's no longer happening on my install.

I'm using wayland now and my Alt-D shortcut to open up yakuake works fine.

I suppose it may have been fixed by an update?

Comment 8 Couret Charles-Antoine 2017-09-19 17:15:08 UTC
The issue still happen in my case…

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:42:31 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

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 25 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 10 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:28:14 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 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.
