Description tommy 2012-11-25 17:26:37 UTC 
Subj. English shortcuts work as they should. For example "Alt F" for "File" works fine, while "Alt Ф" for "Файл" (same in Russian) does nothing.

The bug was noticed in all KDE 4 versions in different Linux distributions (personally I met it in Kubuntu and openSUSE).

Here's a patch for Alt Linux can be found: http://www.sisyphus.ru/ru/srpm/Sisyphus/qt4/patches/3
I don't know whether it works (I use openSUSE), but I hope, it can help to solve the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch interface language to Russian.
2. Open any program with main menu, say KWrite.
3. Verify that current input language is Russian and press "Alt" and underscored letter to call an appropriate menu Item, say "Alt Ф" for "Файл" ("File")
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Menu "Файл" ("File") should pop down.

Thanks for the patch. The patch, however, needs to be applied to the Qt library. To get the patch merged upstream, you need to make a review request on the review board of the Qt Project. For more information, see http://qt-project.org/contribute
