Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 456 by hramr...@gmail.com: xmonad partially eats key events comprising a WM shortcut http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=456 When I invoke a keyboard shortcut of XMonad this happens: Mod key down (eg. Super) is received by application action key down (eg. C) is eaten by XMonad <At this point Mod release should be sent to application> , action is performed. action key release and Mod key release is eaten by XMonad Mod is stuck down in application XMonad should send key release for modifiers it ate to the application. It should do so before performing the action bound to the key because at that point it is known the key will be eaten and the application that received the bogus key down is still active. If the action is some WM action that switches windows the only time when this fixup can reasonably happen is before performing the action.
