Description Ruslan Kabatsayev 2013-03-16 19:04:39 UTC 
"The key you just pressed is unsupported by Qt" message box doesn't accept keyboard input and grabs keyboard leading to need to either use mouse or kill systemsettings from virtual terminal.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. I'm not sure, but maybe you'll need to set Shift+Alt as keyboard layout change shortcut
1. Launch System Settings
2. Go to Desktop Effects
3. Try to set default Shift+Alt+F12
4. On Shift+Alt pressed see a message "The key you just pressed is unsupported by Qt"
5. Try pressing Enter or Esc to get this out of your way - see nothing happens. The same for spacebar, Alt+O (to select OK button via accelerator).
6. Launch a browser using mouse (to file a bug report :) ) and realize that keyboard is grabbed so you can't e.g. enter URL.
In fact, you can't recover from this if you don't have mouse (other than go to virtual terminal and kill systemsettings).
Actual Results:  
Keyboard appears grabbed until message is closed via mouse or systemsettings is killed.

Expected Results:  
The message should accept keyboard input and close at least on Enter, Esc, Space and Alt+O presses.

Can't test: the message no longer appears in step 4, instead I just get Shift+F12 or Ctrl+F12, with the second key ignored. Might happen in some other scenarios, but this one is lost.
