Description Dave Shanker 2005-10-03 14:29:43 UTC 
Enabling mouse pointer highlighting (when pressing the control key) breaks any
keyboard shortcut which uses the control key.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable keyboard shortcut which uses the control key
(Desktop->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts)
2. Test the keyboard shortcut
3. Check "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 even with pointer highlighting enabled

gnome-base/gnome 2.12
gnome-base/control-center 2.12

Verified bug is present in 2.14. Filed bug in GNOME's bugzilla
Comment 2 D Wollmann 2006-08-28 22:13:21 UTC 
The aforementioned bugzilla.gnome.org bug is #341086, which has been marked as a dup of #125618, for anyone who's interested.

Bug seems to be fixed upstream, close?
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-15 13:45:29 UTC 
right, I've verified for a couple of weeks and it is fixed in 2.22. Closing.
