Description Dave Shanker 2006-05-08 22:50:09 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Enabling mouse pointer highlighting (when pressing the control key) in the mouse
preferences breaks any keyboard shortcut which uses the control key.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable keyboard shortcut which uses the control key
(Desktop->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts)
2. Test the keyboard shortcut 
3. Enable "Highlight the pointer when you press Ctrl" in the "Cursor" tab in
Mouse Preferences (Desktop->Preferences->Mouse Preferences
4. Test the keyboard shortcut again


Actual results:
The keyboard shortcut isn't actived and when performed while focus is on a
terminal, charactors are printed out

Expected results:
Keyboard shortcut should work

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Not sure if I filed it under the correct category; I apologize in advance.

Control-center might be the right product for this. Also confirmed on Ubuntu Dapper. When "Highlight the pointer when you press Ctrl" is enabled, I need to press the shortcut twice to activate the action.
