Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
You guys are brilliant, I tried for 2 weeks to make this thing consistant on multiple pc's and narrow down what was causing this, you guys got it in a few posts! I never realized I had blender nav turned on for all my pc's.
I have confirmed as well that if workscreen is changed using CTRL+ALT+Arrows or ALT+TAB:
When in CAD navigation->No problem.
When in Blender navigation->Main screen locks up.
I have just verified this occurs:
Ubuntu 10.04 x64 (my first PC)
Ubuntu 12.04 x64 (my second PC):
Gnome
Gnome Classic
Gnome Classic (no effects)
Unity
Unity 2D
Anyone else can make this happen?
So exciting!

Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
This bug report should probably be reopened now that we know this affects only Blender navigation style:

Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
Woohoo! So, has every one else being using the CAD nav rather than the Blender nav? The Blender nav always seemed quicker to me.
Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
What do you mean by quicker? I have not noticed a difference.
I use CAD navigation exclusively. 3 years ago Blender navigation did not exist, and Inventor navigation was an impediment to modeling (using Ctrl+click to select disabled multiple selection - this is fixed now). I complained a lot about the difficulty of using middle button + left button to rotate the model in 3D space but I had no choice to get used to it because Inventor nav sucked so much. When they introduced Blender navigation, it was too late for me.

Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
Thanks for finding this issue. I can confirm this even on my Ubuntu Lucid system. I remember from time to time I had this issue too but was never able to reproduce it. However, it must be caused by something else because I never use CTRL+ALT+Arrow to switch between the work places.
And btw. the CAD navigation style is also affected by this. Though it's still possible to select elements but clicking on an already selected elements toggles the selection instead of selecting the whole part.

Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
If it helps: Slackware linux here, switching workspaces with CTRL+Arrow, and sometimes FreeCad then is kinda stuck - for eg. if i just rotatetd view, then switch workspace then if i come back to freecad then view is rotating with mouse move without any key pressed. It sometimes even happen without switching workspaces, but when using sketcher, mostly when leaving sketcher.
Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
I can not get it to do anything wrong with CAD or Blender style navigation, but I am using Kubuntu, hence KDE. To shift work spaces my default keyboard short cuts are ctrl F1 and ctrl F2.
Would it be a good idea to get FreeCAD Help About to report the desktop environment being used if on Linux?

Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
Yes but if you would use modifier keys (CTRL + ALT + arrow keys) you would probably have the same problem. I tested KDE and it had the same problem but when i temporary changed keyboard shortcut to something else i didn't have the problem anymore. You probably still have the problem or if u just use arrow keys to move the part and blender navigation is enabled then you can reproduce this problem?To shift work spaces my default keyboard short cuts are ctrl F1 and ctrl F2.
P.S. I use blender navigation because it just feels right and that middle+left click to rotate in CAD navigation is just off.

Re: Problem caused by changing workspaces in Ubuntu
I have two monitors and I almost never use different work spaces. When I have, I have used the mouse to switch between them, So I followed the key combinations stated here, they had no effect on FreeCAD or KDE, so I looked up my system settings to see what my keyboard short cuts are, I have never changed them, they are just the Kubuntu defaults. You may be correct in that if I changed the key combinations then perhaps the problem would come up. I suppose it may be possible that my dual monitor set up may be effecting this, or maybe not.
