I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) with xfce4. Since I have upgraded to this version, my Super L shortcut for the whiskermenu appears to be broken. Pushing the Super L key correctly opens the whiskermenu, but releasing the key will also close it again. This is obviously not intended behaviour.

I have tried to change the shortcut to other keys and Super R for example works like a charm. I can also press the Super L key quite long (a second or so), then, releasing it will not again close the whiskermenu. What is so special about Super L? Do I have to remove all shortcuts containing a Super L + *? How can I fix this?

Thank you! <3

Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart -> Bind Super Key = off.

Xubuntu 22.04 adds a sneaky program to autorun (xcape), which binds Super L to Ctrl-Escape, supposedly allowing it to open Whisker menu without breaking other shortcuts involving Super.

It probably interferes with the way you set this shortcut yourself.
