Bug Description

According to "Ubuntu Desktop Guide"

"To maximize a window along a side of the screen, grab the titlebar and drag it to the left or right side until half of the screen is highlighted. Using the keyboard, hold down Ctrl and Super and press the Left or Right key."

Holding down Ctrl and Super and Left key works, however holding down Ctrl and Super and Right key doesn't work.

I use that particular keystroke all the time. I suggest you check any system settings you may have changed that affect how your hotkeys are configured.

very strange.

I tried a few more things. I have two control buttons. LeftCtrl and RightCtrl.

RightCtrl+Super+Left works
RightCtrl+Super+Right works
LeftCtrl+Super+Left works
LeftCtrl+Super+Right doesn't work.

this is a clean new installation of Ubuntu 16.10 and I haven't changed any settings.

Could this be a multi-key rollover keyboard hardware limitation?
