Some keyboard shortcuts stop working after suspend

Hi

every time I wake up my laptop from suspend, the "tile right" shortcut stops working. It does not matter what I set it to. I usually use CTRL+ALT+right, but tried different shortcuts as well. The result is the same. After suspend the shortcut does not work.

"tile left" on the other hand, keeps working as expected (configured to CTRL+ALT+left).

Here are things I already tried:

* If I open the window manager configuration and go the keyboard tab, it displays the configured shortcut
* xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv | grep tile_ shows the correct configuration
* If I reconfigure any shortcut (even the same as apparently already configured), it works right away (until the next suspend)

The system I use is an Xubuntu 24.04 with xfce version 4.18.3 from stock packages. No manual (ie config file editing) changes to the configuration, everything was set up using the provided xfce gui configuration tools.

I hope someone has some pointers on what to look in to regards this issue.

Thanks
Dominik

Re: Some keyboard shortcuts stop working after suspend

I should've searched a little bit longer (not just 2 hours ...)

I found a solution here: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/issues/571

Deleting the keys in the settings editor and the re-configuring them in the window manager settings worked.
