Bug Description
This a regression report for bug 1440570 with the latest package installed on 14.04 Trusty.
Problem still reproduces exactly as specified. Every time I press 'N' in terminal over VNC, a new window is opened. I don't want to delete my super key mappings, they are quite useful when interacting with the machine locally but I also need remote access to things like a web browser and VNC is most useful for this.
Unfortunately the super key is constantly on. I saw that 1440570 was closed with a fix, I might have undone the fix because I used gnome-tweak-tool to swap my Alt-Win keys (Alt-Win behavior under typing). Even after switching this back however, the problem persists over VNC, making it unusable.
Let me know what I can do to help debug.
