Description Jeff Parsons 2004-05-24 08:17:02 UTC 
Description of Problem:
The window that appears in the centre of the
screen while using key combinations of
CTRL+ALT+[ARROW KEY] to switch workspaces in GNOME
does not dissapear automatically if the right alt
key is used rather than the left. Preference of
ctrl key used does not seem to affect it.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Switch workspaces using left ctrl+alt+[arrow
key]. Works fine.
2. Switch workspaces using right ctrl+alt+[arrow
key]. Switcher window doesn't automatically disappear.

This happens every time I do it using the right
alt key. No idea WHY it happens, sorry :/

Possibly useful info:
Generic 105 key keyboard
Running fairly clean installation of Fedora Core 2
final
Happens on two different PCs (albeit with simmilar
configurations)
Athlon XP (2500+)

Cheers,

I should have been clearer; by "not autmoatically disappearing" I mean that the
window does not disappear as soon as the keys are released- one must click off
the window or press a key.

Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2004-05-24 08:23:46 UTC 
I do not really understand why it is marked for libgswitchit. Does this problem
disappear without the GNOME Keyboard Indicator applet on the panel?
Comment 3 Jeff Parsons 2004-05-25 03:20:14 UTC 
No. I think I may have reported it under the wrong category by mistake... I 
was led to believe by a contact that the desktop switching panel was known 
as 'libgswitchit', although it seems now that is not correct. If this could be 
moved to the correct category it would be greatly appreciated.

It's an xorg setup issue.
