Hi. I've just tested this bug, before and after update to the newest KDE in the Arch repositories, and the bug still exists on KDE 5.20.3.
Confirmed still occurring in Comment 3.
Is F and [ on the same key on your keyboard layout?
I'm using the Croatian (US) layout (US keyboard but with certain Croatian characters). On it, the F and [ keys are the same as with the US layout, but AltGr + F is also [.
Interesting And it only happens with the specific components listed in your first comment, or is it any shortcut menu?
Well, when I first tested it, it happened with only these menus. However, right now, on 5.21.2 it also happens on Activity Manager and KDE Daemon, for example. I haven't tested it with the rest, though.
No problem it is probably all of them if it's that many
It's also worth mentioning that, if I don't bind anything else to that shortcut, the default shortcut under Common Actions -> Navigation -> Activate Previous Tab uses the Ctrl + [ keybind, and it works without an issue.
Seems to be the same bug as 402028 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 402028 ***
