Why does F12 global key doesn't work when focus is on shipped gnome apps in Ubuntu 17.10?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

When having opened some built-in applications, like "Settings", pressing the F12 key does nothing.



I have it configured to open "Guake" terminal. This is made as a global shortcut in Guake itself. It works when I have focus on other application, for instance Chrome/FF browser etc.



I've checked shortcut settings, but F12 key is not bound to anything.



It did work on previous Ubuntu versions.



It seems that there is a workaround for it, but anyway it seems broken.
