Description Serge Iovleff

Hello,

I'm using my laptop with a docking station.

If I close the laptop and try to work with an external keyboard and
an external screen, the arrow keys and the backspace key do not work in
the editors (either cdt or java editors).

If I let my laptop open they work on both keyboards : the external and the internal !

I'm using gnome-shell  3.4.1 on ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).

Serge
