Version: 3.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Situation: When I downloaded and installed KDE 3.5 RC 1 on my SUSE Linux 10.0 system, I found that occasionally, the shortcuts for the Location bar and the Tools menu would be changed from the default Alt+O and Alt+T to Alt+C and Alt+O respectively. Expected Behaviour: The shortcuts for the Location bar and Tools menu should not change. Comments: This bug did not exist till KDE 3.42. I noticed this because I use Alt+O to get the locations bar often and suddenly I am unable to do so when this bug happens. This bug was not solved by moving to KDE 3.5 Final. How to reproduce: I was unable to find any meaningful method to reproduce this bug (so sorry I can't help that way).
Try setting AutoCheckAccelerators to false (http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/kde3arch/kde-i18n-howto.html#SECTION000111000000000000000). The accel manager should always produce same result and should explicite specified accelerators move as last possibility to resolve a conflict.
Pardon, but I do not understand certain points: 1. what do you mean by "The accel manager should always produce same result and should explicite specified accelerators move as last possibility to resolve a conflict." Is there something called an accelerator manager which distributes the accelerators? I thought the accelerators were determined when a window is designed in Qt itself? Are not the accelerators "hardwired" into the software? 2. My report was that the shortcuts change randomly, but both the accelerators in question change simultaneously. That is: when L&ocation (o is accelerator) becomes Lo&cation, &Tools becomes T&ools. As such, there is no conflict, since o is at any given time the accelerator of only one of the two. This being the case, will the conflict reporter help? Thanks for giving this bug your attention.
Created attachment 13796 [details] Screenshot of bug This screenshot shows how the shortcut of Location is changed to c and the shortcut of Tools is changed to o.
Created attachment 13797 [details] Screenshot of expected behaviour This screenshot shows the expected (default) behaviour - the shortcut of Location is changed to o and the shortcut of Tools is T.
I tried using F12, but it reported no conflict, since of course there is no conflict. It's just that the accelerator gets changed. And yes, my ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals contains: [Development] AlwaysShowCheckAccelerators=false AutoCheckAccelerators=true CheckAccelerators=F12
And did you try to set AutoCheckAccelerators to false like suggested?
Shriramana, have you seen this problem on any more recent versions in the 3.5 series?
