Description Christian Schneider 2009-03-02 11:13:27 UTC 
Version:           0.70.0 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-11-generic

When using multiple tabs in the chat window, the keyboard shortcuts for switching between the tabs don't work, if the message input box is active.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Assign keyboard shortcuts  to "Activate next" / "Activate previous" (I use Shift+Left / Shift+Right)
2. Start chats with two contacts using one chat window with two tabs.
3. Set the focus to the message input box at the bottom.
4. Try using the shortcuts, they don't work
5. Press Shift+Tab to set the focus to a different widget than the input box.
6. The Shortcuts work, but as soon as another tab is activated, the focus is automatically switches back to the input box.

Expected behaviour:
All assigned shortcuts should work regardless of the focused widget.

I am able to reproducte this using KDE-svn.

It works fine with Alt+Left/Alt+Right but not when using Ctrl or Shift instead.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
