Description William Hilton 2008-03-06 21:33:50 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The standard "Configure Shortcuts" dialog used in KDE4 programs has a silly flaw. When I try to assign certain key combinations, the dialog intercepts them instead of assigning them. These shortcuts are Alt+D, which returns everything to their defaults, Alt+C, which is Cancel, Alt+O, which is OK, and Alt+E, which focuses the search dialog.

Test case: Open a Configure Shortcuts dialog (such as Dolphin's). Choose an action (such as About Dolphin). Click on the button to change the shortcut (text changes from "None" to "Input...") and type Alt+C. The dialog immediately closes! Re-opening the dialog shows that no shortcut was even assigned.

(This has been a bug since the 4.0 betas, so I was really surprised when I updated to 4.0.2 and it still wasn't fixed. Am I the only one who has tried assigning Alt+D to something?)

No you're not. Same problem exists for me and it even did before the betas.
Also using Kubuntu (exists in 7.10 and 8.04).

SVN commit 791406 by mjansen:

The shortcut 'alt+c' ( or any other dialog local action shortcut ) ended the recording and triggered the action associated with the action. In case of 'alt+c' ending the dialog.  It seems that those ShortcutOverride events get sent even if grabKeyboard() is active.

I would like to hear opinions if this is a qt bug or expected behavior.
