Description of problem: When I press F9 (Shortcut key for gnome terminal) once, multiple terminals open. The number seems random, but it is usually between 10 and 30. It seems to stop if I mash some other keys in time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: intermittent Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press F9 once (user defined short cut key) 2. 3. Actual results: Many terminal windows open Expected results: One terminal window opens Additional info:
This seems like a metacity or hardware bug to me.
Sorry, it probably is metacity. I'm fairly sure it isn't hardware. This behaviour appeared when I upgraded to F11. Matt
I have similar issue. My gnome-terminal is assigned on ctrl+alt+t. if I press shortcut on initialization gnome session, I will get 20-30 terminals.
