Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package When I press "alt", menu is activated in kopete. So, suppose I press "alt" thinking I will press "tab" later to change the window, and then I don't do that, and then I press F (for writing something), file menu is activated. This (for me atleast) has become quite normal thing, and is of course irritating. I would be glad if this could be removed, or if there could be an option to disable this. I do not see non-kde applications with this thing.
I can't reproduce this. Kopete 0.70.0 with KDE 4.2.1 on Arch Linux with the KDEMod packages.
(In reply to comment #1) > I can't reproduce this. Kopete 0.70.0 with KDE 4.2.1 on Arch Linux with the > KDEMod packages. Try this : Open kopete (or a chat window in kopete) and then press "alt". And then press F or C, and see if menu opens up. May be I couldn't explain my point clearly in first msg.
I still can't reproduce this. If i hit the 'Alt' key (not holding it down) and then hit 'f' in a kopete chat window, the letter 'f' goes into the input area. The same thing happens if i type 'F' (Shift+F) as well.

I discussed this on #kde as well, and people were able to reproduce this.
Matt, do you happen to use QtCurve or a different Qt style? There is a style hint that Qt queries for the menu (QStyle::SH_MenuBar_AltKeyNavigation) and Oxygen returns true here (as do most other styles, since it is the default on KDE since ever).
nope, standard oxygen style
Sorry for the confusion, I was wrong. It is Qt's Windows style that sets this property, so all styles that inherit Windows (Plastique, Cleanlooks, GTK, Mac, WindowsXP, WindowsVista, Skulpture, QtCurve, ...) have that AltKey feature. Rohit, which style do you use? Try with Oxygen or Bespin style.
Well, this doesn't help. I tried Oxygen and Plastik both. I see this behavior only in kopete. In konversion and kontact, it works fine.
What is the status of this bug? Please provide the following information: * Is the bug still visible with KDE SC 4.4? * Is there a way to reproduce it on a clean user account? To fix this bug in Kopete or KDE Platform libraries, we need this additional information.
