Description Karl Wagener 2006-01-25 21:11:11 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
[note: xorg.conf: screen 1 rightof screen 0]

Desktop :0.1 doesn't behave normally when switching using CTRL+ALT+[arrowkeys].
The problem is minor and is resolved by simply "left clicking" on the background.


Steps to reproduce:
The following assumes the mouse is sitting on desktop :0.0, there are 3
workspaces in the workspace switchers and both displays are on workspace 1 (the
left-most workspace).

1. move mouse to display :0.1
2. "left click" on the background (select desktop :0.1)
3. press CTRL+ALT+[right-arrow]

Actual results:
The display is switched to workspace 2 but the workspace switcher "hud" (appears
in the centre of the desktop) remains on-screen and subsequent presses of the
[left-arrow] or [right-arrow] buttons have no effect.
If I follow the same proceedure but use CTRL+ALT+[left-arrow] instead it behaves
normally, probably because I am on the left-most workspace already. The same
applies if I am on workspace 3 (right-most workspace) and use
CTRL+ALT+[right-arrow].

Expected results:
Workspace should switch and continue to switch for subsequent presses of
CTRL+ALT+[arrowkeys].
Switcher "hud" should disappear when the keys are released

Does this happen every time?
Yes
