When I'm away from my office mac I typically login via screen-sharing or VNC from home/another mac. Lately, after using screen sharing this way, my office mac will have several problems:
- Command+tab and Command+` no longer work
- Expose and other F-key functions no longer work
- ctrl+space to launch Google QSB no longer works
Things I have tried to remedy this:
- Restarting the Finder process
- Restarting the Dock process
- Disabling the screensaver
- Unfortunately, the screensaver still runs... A connected issue?
- Deleting preference files for Dock/Finder/screensaver etc.
The only thing that seems to work is a restart. I usually try and avoid that.
System details:
- Macbook pro 13"
- OS v10.5.8
Does killing the screensaver daemon or setting to a different screensaver not help? – ayaz – 2010-02-03T18:25:25.663
I didn't try setting another screensaver. I just changed the time to start to 'Never'. But killing the screensaver daemon does nothing. – moshen – 2010-02-03T18:27:16.110
It seems like the new version of Chromium is causing the problem. – moshen – 2010-02-08T20:40:17.807
Scratch that... Just had it recur. – moshen – 2010-02-10T20:42:50.980
Im stuck with this problem too. Looks like there is no solution – Yazz.com – 2010-03-28T16:08:14.783
I will be updating to Snow Leopard on one of my machines. I'll post if that fixes it. For some reason though it has been happening less frequently lately. – moshen – 2010-03-29T21:59:17.333
Did it disappear with 10.6? If so, maybe answer this question yourself ("was a bug, fixed by upgrading"?) and accept your answer – Daniel Beck – 2010-12-25T18:58:34.410
