[Bug 1882375] Re: [SRU Patch Available] Cinnamon custom keyboard shortcuts don't work until logout

[Joshua Peisach]

Clearly I looked over this (stupid me)
If you want we *could* skip this, or put it in ubuntu0.2 for Cinnamon 4.4.8-4

Your choice. I can recreate the diff.

Title:
  [SRU Patch Available] Cinnamon custom keyboard shortcuts don't work
  until logout

Status in cinnamon package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cinnamon source package in Focal:
  In Progress
Status in cinnamon source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The users who manually set their own Keyboard Shortcuts will not have them applied until a full
   reset of Cinnamon occurs.
   * This can be very annoying and the code insertion is adding a reverse trigger to the custom list keybinding, and then adding a dummy string in case it can't (if there is only one keybind).

  [Test Case]

   * The bug is simply reproducable by changing a Keyboard Shortcut and testing it. It will likely
   not work until you log out and log in again.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Through this change it looks like there won't be any regression. Later on I will backport more
   patches added to cinnamon.

   * Two commits were made on this-another one was a revisit that fixed
  one so it looks like we are stable enough to not have to worry about
  regressions.

   * The updated version of this patch actually fixes a regression-we
  should be okay.

  [Other Info]

   * Backporting patch from Linux Mint upstream, solved a few other issues
   * This is a FIXED patch to not mess up other patches and it also fixes a (probably) regression.
   * This is my 3rd attempt, fixed changelog and version

  [Original Description]

  Description:	Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  Release:	20.04
  cinnamon: 4.4.8-4
  cinnamon-settings-daemon: 4.4.0-3

  Steps to Reproduce:
  - on Cinnamon desktop, run cinnamon-settings
  - go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts
  - add a custom shortcut, or edit the command or shortcut of an existing custom shortcut

  Expected behavior:
  the shortcut should become active immediately

  Actual behavior:
  the shortcut does not work until you log out and log in again

  This seems similar to bug #1243532, but I'm reporting this as a new
  bug now because it is cinnamon-specific. Other shortcuts (e.g. Close
  Window) are updated immediately, this only affects custom shortcuts. I
  think this bug appeared in 20.04.
