Ubuntu 17.10 and Citrix Receiver: Partial Keyboard Capture

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10, which came with the GNOME desktop environment. Overall, I have been pleased, but one thing that has been driving me crazy is the loss of "complete" keyboard capture in a remote session with the Citrix receiver. Before the upgrade, I could use keyboard shortcuts and largely avoid the mouse, switching back to the host when needed with ALT+F2. Now, even ALT+TAB doesn't work. (It switches me back to applications in the host Ubuntu desktop.)

To be clear, I can still type and whatnot in the client session, but hotkeys no longer work. I have tried adjusting the All Regions parameter in the Citrix .ini file, but to no avail. Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be amazing.

in Ubuntu I usually don't bother to exit apps, you may try to use short cut to move around the workplace by holding + and arrow up or down.

i meant holding alt + ctrl, then arrow up or down to change the workplace – ccl283 – 2018-03-02T10:50:54.053

This is a good suggestion (which I will use), but I don't think it solves the issue of ALT+TAB within the remote session... – Marvin Ward Jr – 2018-03-02T14:24:52.433

It appears that this is a Citrix verison issue. I just reinstalled Citrix 13.4, and all is right with the world again. Newer versions have change this feature for some reason.
