Alt-Shift-Tab to go back one window, change/regression from Jaunty?

[javabrett]

Hi all,

9.10-RC, Gnome, defaults but upgraded from 9.04 rather thank clean install.

Raising this here as it may be a deliberate default preference change (Jaunty -> Karmic) rather than a bug.

I'm used to, when ALT-TABbing, to be able to add a SHIFT keystroke and go back one window/window-icon in the sequence.  This is what happens on Jaunty and Windows and other window managers.

Does anyone want to offer whether this is likely a deliberate settings change, or a regression?

Thanks
Brett

Looks like a bug with Compiz. With desktop effects off shift-alt-tab goes to previous window.

Thanks Earl.  Yes, certainly looks like compiz and/or metacity key bindings - with that additional context I located https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/150702 

Thanks
