    Shift+F12 not working

    I recently installed Kubuntu and I'm very pleased with it. However, I have one issue that bothers me. I need to use Shift+F12 in my Java IDE quite a lot, but this key combination doesn't work anymore. When I first realised this I searched through the configuration and found a binding for Shift+F12, which I promptly deleted. But this didn't work. I then tried running xev, and the output from here is as follows:

    Code:
    KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
      root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 1662652130, (153,42), root:(1251,837),
      state 0x2010, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
      XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
      XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
      XFilterEvent returns: False

    As you can see, the F12 keypress seems to just disappear and turn into that strange KeyMapNotify event. Today I also discovered that the same goes for Ctrl+F12, but not for Shift+Ctrl+F12.

    This is really annoying as I use both combinations *very* frequently when writing Java code. Which I do 8 hours a day

    Hope someone can help.

    Re: Shift+F12 not working

    Hi,

    I was just playing with xev to fix one trouble also tonight so I've looked on your trouble...
    I get exactly the same output as you just once the NotifyUngrab paragraph...

    Did you find any fix ? What is the java program where you need to use this shift+F12 key so I will try.

    Cheers
