TAB key not functional in XFCE4.8
Attached below the output of 'xev' when I use the TAB key in two different windowmanagers: fluxbox works like it should, but XFCE4.8 (standard of ubuntu 12.04) translates it to 'Focus In, Focus Out' (resp. pressing the button and releasing it).
How does XFCE change the key in such a manner that even 'xev' doesn't recognise TAB anymore?
FLUXBOX:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 155561853, (45,-15), root:(768,31),
state 0x0, keycode 23 (keysym 0xff09, Tab), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (09) " "
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (09) " "
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 155561957, (45,-15), root:(768,31),
state 0x0, keycode 23 (keysym 0xff09, Tab), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (09) " "
XFilterEvent returns: False
XFCE4.8:
FocusOut event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusIn event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
I have set the keyboard layouts the same:
[@laptop:~]$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: us
Can someone tell me how this could occur and possibly how to solve it?
thanks!
