[HLUG] Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail Released

[Steve Horsfield]

I use keyboard short-cuts in Unity and I cannot replicate this issue, but I
am happy with my version 12.04 and I cannot be bothered to renew my OS for
the sake of it. At some time when I think there might be an advantage I
will probably change. Otherwise its an OS and a desktop. Who spends time
thinking about  their OS and desktop? I'm far too busy contemplating my
navel.
