Package: xfce4
Version: 4.8.0.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am not sure if this is a bug in xfce4 of in some part of the vnc software.
But I only noticed it if running xcfe4. I couldn't track it down with xev.

The Tab key is not working in applications, instead, the action defined for
<Super>Tab is performed. This breaks tab completion in terminal windows. I
could reproduce this on two different machines.

The workaround is easy: Delete <Super>Tab from the shortcuts, and everything is
fine.

B. Bretthauer
