From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: workspace switching does not cycle between the workspaces any longer. it did in rh8. suppose you have 4 workspaces located as follows 1 2 3 4 if you start with workspace <1> and hit C-S-A-<left>, you should go to <4>, then <3>, then <2>, then <1> - this is what happened in rh8. now you just stay in <1>. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to workspace1 2.hit Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Left Actual Results: nothing happens Expected Results: you switch to workspace4 Additional info: doing nothing in response to a user action is no good. it was better before when I could go from any workspace to any other workspace in a single keystroke.
Done on purpose, for consistency with similar UI in other places, and so you can "slam" to one side. To move to any space with a single keystroke I personally use keybindings such as Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3, etc. for specific spaces. Anyway, if you want to read more text on this topic there are bugs on bugzilla.gnome.org that go on forever.
this is NOT consistent because C-M-RIGHT on workspace<2> DOES switch to workspace<3>. if you want it to be consistent, you have to disable that too.
Are you using metacity 2.4.13 from rawhide? That issue should be fixed in 2.4.13.
I am using phoebe, not rawhide. I upgraded metacity to 2.4.13 and indeed that fixed the bug. thanks.
thanks for testing
