HUD and Alt+Shift issue

[Simos Xenitellis]

Hi All,

I'ld like to bring your attention to an issue described at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/923384

The Heads Up Display (HUD),
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_WW-DHqR3c
is activated when you press the Alt key.
Some scripts use the Alt key to switch layouts (for example, with
Alt+Shift or Alt+AltGr).
If you have Ubuntu 12.04 Beta1 (with latest updates), can you try to
test if the conflict affects you and your layout switching shortcut?

1. You can open gedit (or any text editor), and type some text. Switch
between scripts (for example, English and your language)
while continuing to write. The HUD should not be invoked. If it does,
then it should be reported.

2. Activate the HUD (press Alt). It opens a text box where you can type text.
Try to write something in both English and your language (that is, you
switch layouts while in the HUD).
The HUD should not disappear while you are typing in the text box,
just because you switched layout.
