Description tommy 2012-11-23 00:20:35 UTC
I've modified hotkeys from default ones to more convenient for me in Dolphin, Konqueror & Rekonq. In particular I've assigned "Ctrl <" for action "Back", "Ctrl >" for "Forward" and "Ctrl ^" for "Level Up" (holding Shift certainly). In Dolphin/Rekonq they work perfectly, but in Konqueror for some unknown reasons after using "Ctrl <" or "Ctrl >" expected content is displayed in new tab, while current tab remains unchanged (same thing for "Ctrl ," and "Ctrl ." while combinations with "Alt" instead of "Ctrl" work fine). "Ctrl ^" normally works properly, but will have the same effect if the tab is splited in panels.
The hotkeys have no conflicts. Described behavior was noticed even for newly created account. And also it was confirmed by user of other computer with x64 version of the same OS. By the way my OS is openSUSE 12.2 with KDE 4.9.3.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Konqueror and open Settings/Hotkeys
2. Assign hotkey "Ctrl <" ("Ctrl Shift ,") for action "Back" and "Ctrl >" ("Ctrl Shift .") for action "Forward" (Notice: that will cancel default meaning of this hotkeys - moving current tab left or right correspondingly).
3. Click "Ok" to save settings
4. Open any address in current tab. Let it be home folder.
5. Go to any different address in the same tab. For example to Documents folder.
6. Press "Ctrl <" ("Ctrl Shift ,") to return to first address.
Actual Results:  
The content with the first address is displayed in newly created tab. Previous tab still holds the content with the second address.

Expected Results:  
The content with the first address should be displayed in the same tab instead of the content with the second address.

As I've written before combination "Ctrl >" for action "Forward" produces same effect either as "Ctrl ^" for "Level Up" when current tab is splited in panels. The bug is reproduced at least on 2 different computers with the same OS (of x86 and x64 versions) and version of KDE 4.9.3. Neither Dolphin, nor Rekonq cause such problem with that hotkeys.
P.S. Maybe Konqueror puts some special restrictments for this hotkeys, but they are not obvious, and I would be very glad for any explanations.
