Good evening
In **my** account, which was naturally set up during the installation
and where I **DID NOT** temper with any shortcut keys (yet),
it does not work with any software.
Logout -> login as "Guest" ==> Ctrl+F works.
Is there anything I can do about this, since this is apparently not the
way it should be ...
Thank you in advance.
