Description Daniel Boles 2016-09-08 23:07:24 UTC 
Procedure
* Have GNOME Control Centre 3.21.90
* Open Keyboard panel
* Click on a shortcut list row, to open the popup window to customise it
* Try to enter a combo consisting of Super+any other key. For example, try to bind Minimise to Super+Down, like in many other DEs.

Expected results
* The system will accept and use the keyboard shortcut that the user wants.

Actual results
* It does not recognise that a shortcut has been entered
* The popup's close button is inoperable
* I have to press Esc in order to make the close button work

So I can't enter my shortcut in Settings - I have to use dconf-editor.

Such key combinations worked absolutely fine in the previous version of Settings with the old GUI, and are still displayed properly in the new GUI, but they can't be added using it, only dconf.

Hope this helps and thanks in advance. I normally record videos, but obviously that's not much use here. If you need any other info, please let me know.
