Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages On KDE Desktop and in Konqueror: 1. Open a context menu by right-clicking on a file. 2. See in the context menu "Rename F2". 3. Press F2. Result - No response. There is no reason that the keyboard shortcuts should stop functioning if a context menu is open.
I can confirm the behaviour, but I'm not sure if it's done deliberately.
This is still valid in KDE4 (dolphin part). @Peter: sorry if I bother you, do you think this is an intended behaviour of the file manager or does it depends from libs (kde/qt libs) ???? :-)
@Finex: this depends on Qt and is a common behavior of all GUI-toolkits I know. I just tried how this works on Windows. Here also when a context menu is opened the application shortcuts don't apply. Whether this is a good behavior or not from a users point of view I'm not sure - I never had the idea to use a shortcut when I've opened a context menu honestly speaking ;-) So as summary: _if_ this should be fixed it must be done on kdelibs/Qt level, not on application level.
Same problem as #70063. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 70063 ***
