Since 22.04, the previously default keyboard shortcuts Super+Right or Super+Up won't move/tile/resize the windows anymore.

super+Left and Super+Down works as expected.

Is there a reason for that? I remember I had to remove (several times to click, oddly) existing shortcut entries - then re-add one by one, and it worked again.

Is there some overloading of default/xfce4 settings that I'm not aware of? Why was this behavior changed, and was it intentionally?

Can I help fixing it? Thank you very much in advance.

This user seems to have the same issue: https://superuser.com/questions/1802663/keyboard-shortcut-repeatedly-stops-working-in-xubuntu

Referring to: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1410520/super-right-for-tile-window-right-does-not-work-in-xubuntu-22-04

Will try that.

That actually fixed it: :D

1) Open "window manager" settings (start menu)

2) Edit the keyboard shortcuts

3) Clear the non-working shortcuts. (If you just re-set them, they still don't work)

4) When the field is empty: re-set the desired shortcut.

Works as expected.

When deleting (clear) the mis-behaving shortcuts (eg super+right), a double-binding shows up now that looks like "a keypad collision" somehow (Alt+6)?

Is there anything I can help to fix some config file to get back upstream, so I have this fixed in my upcoming installations? :D
