Description Chris Gibbs 2010-01-11 09:34:26 UTC 
Application that crashed: systemsettings
Version of the application: 1.0
KDE Version: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)
Qt Version: 4.5.3
Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-3.slh.1-sidux-amd64 x86_64
Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)

What I was doing when the application crashed:
I was editing Input Actions to add quick keyboard shortcuts in "Preset Actions" - adding a shortcut to launch Iceweasel using the keybinding meta+w, but it kept showing up as gibberish (squares of differeing sizes) followed by a comma, then Meta+W,Meta+ ...

Soon after this, the application crashed, with the following output.

[Comment from a bug triager]
From bug 251777:
-- Information about the crash:
Setting the VolumeDown shortcut to win-D produced resulted in a box showing
"[][][][][]" where all symbols were boxes and some were superscript. That is,
the shortcut setter thought I was pressing the key "[][][][][]". Setting
VolumeUp to win-F produces the same box. I can only assume that "[][][][][]" is
synonymous with the win key. This is what xev outputs:

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    root 0x1ad, subw 0x0, time 12854160, (145,1), root:(1801,24),
    state 0x40, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

After doing this twice, kmix always crashes.

From bug 252043:
-- Information about the crash:
- How to reproduce:
Edit -> New -> Command Shortcut -> URL -> Trigger (tab)
Shortcut : press Meta Alt (conflic with hotkeys message), cancel
Shortcut : press Meta Alt (crash, as soon as you press Meta)
- Also weird:
pressing the Meta key, shows some weird square symbols instead of "Meta".
...
Tried on my box (KDE 4.5.1), Fedora 13 64 bits and it worked fine. Meta is
correctly displayed and there's no crash.

No error message.

And there is no crash anymore.

This still happens.

I"m seeing this behaviour today on Plasma 5.20.5.  Can this be reopened?

The issue with hyper has been happening to me for a long time on multiple systems. I'd like for this issue to be reopened and renamed since there's no crash.

Same for me. I am using a custom symbols-file in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ based on the us intl layout which is working as expected but in Plasma. I put the Hyper_L symbol to all eight levels of caps lock. It automatically works the same as Meta (aka Super, not Alt!) does but adding new shortcuts does not work.

The systemsettings do not crash but the input breaks after hitting the capslock-key and saves to the `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc` look like
> switch-to-activity-4e86aa4e-0a7c-4a4b-82b8-c6298a5a46f9=ៀ?,none,Switch to activity
This shortcut does not work (and should not as the Meta-Behaviour is copied and opens the application dashboard)

I'm also seeing this behavior on Plasma 5.25.4
Comment 19 Daniel 2022-05-06 07:56:27 UTC 
This has to be resolved in Qt, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61301?focusedCommentId=388466
Comment 20 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-14 17:06:59 UTC 
Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
