Pressing keyboard volume control causes window to minimize

trojanfoe · 2010-07-20 18:45:22

Hi there, I am a recent convert from Ubuntu to Archlinux and have my system running well, except for one minor niggle - when I press the volume up/down on my keyboard (Microsoft Wired Keyboard) the volume 'popup' window causes the current window to minimize if it's currently fullscreen. I have seen this happen in the game Osmos and when viewing fullscreen videos on youtube.

In previous Linux installations I didn't have this problem. Can anyone give me some pointers please?

It's not a bug - it's a feature!
Let's see, you've come here from Ubuntu, you're using Microsoft keyboard - he's a witch!

I'm not sure if those will help, but it's all I have for you atm:

Thanks for the reply karol - why do you mention it's a feature and not a bug? It bugs me, so that counts
