            Bug ID: 15659
           Summary: workspace switching keys not fully trapped;
                    incorrectly sent to application
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-panel
           Version: 4.12.2
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Workspace Switcher
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: unixgamerocker+xfce at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: Panel 4.14

In XFCE, the workspace switching keys are ctrl-F<whatever>. In the music
composition application milkytracker, ctrl-F<whatever> are linked to editing
operations.

I like my desktop/workspace switching keys as the ctrl-Fkeys, as they are. I
don't care about my editing keys in milkytracker. The problem is that the
ctrl-F<n> keypresses are sent to milkytracker when I switch to the desktop that
milkytracker is on.

For example, given that milkytracker is on workspace 3 and I am on workspace 2,
when I switch to workspace 3, the switch occurs and then milkytracker also
receives the keypress instead of it being trapped (which is what happens if I
am already on workspace 3 and I press ctrl-F3). this causes me to lose work.

the behavior I expect is for the keypress to always be trapped.
