I spent too many years in IT where you have to make it very explicitly clear what you are telling the user to do. If I say click on the
OK button and the screen shows a
Save or
Apply or
Exit button, it does not lead to a happy conversation. As for expecting them to use keyboard shortcuts, the users who will use them are few and far between and they are, for the most part, the ones who call IT very infrequently.
I suspect this UI/UX discussion is not very relevant to the OPs question which as Kovid Goyal suggested is an issue his windows manager. Sadly a common issue with Linux where
My Way seems to be the theme song of choice.
