Binding Alt-PgUp/Down Makes PgUp/Down Buttons Unusable
Last modified: 2005-08-18 17:28:43 UTC
Please describe the problem: I tried to bind alt-pgup and alt-pgdown to previous track and next track. When I did this and hit Close, I no longer could use my pgup and pgdown buttons, with or without alt, shift, ctrl, etc. When I went back and deleted these two bindings and hit Close, I still could not use pgup and pgdown in any way until I logged out and back in. However, if I logged out and back in with these bindings still in place, I still couldn't use pgup/down. When I went back into the keybinder to try this again after a reboot, I pressed alt-pgup for previous and alt-pgdown for next track, but in the 'Shortcut' column some strange things showed up, not alt-pgup etc. A screenshot of this is here: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/gburt/www/keyboard.png Steps to reproduce: 1. Open gnome-keybinding-properties 2. Add a 'shortcut' for previous track = alt-pgup, next track = alt-pgdown 3. Close, and then not be able to use pgup or pgdown in any capacity Actual results: The pageup/pagedown keys are rendered completely unusable - the desired shortcut doesn't work, pgup/pgdown in a scroll window no longer works, shift-pgup/down doesn't work in gnome-terminal, etc. Expected results: The shortcut to work and for other uses of pgup/pgdown not to be affected. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I'm using Ubuntu Hoary on a Dell Inspiron 4000. Here a bit from my xorg.conf file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection xserver-xorg package is version 6.8.1-1ubuntu10
