Description

Once again, multimedia keys are not working globally. They work in individual applications, but only when you're in those applications. If you're playing music in a media or music player (i.e. Banshee, VLC, MPV) you can use the multimedia keys to control playback in those applications, but when you move to a different application, you cannot use the multimedia keys to control playback of media playing in a media player unless you return to the player - but the multimedia keys cannot control the playback on a media player outside of said media player. I know this is kind of a repeat of Bug #13848 but I thought I'd bring it up again as it seems it might not have been resolved back then, or it has reappeared.
