Description Erik Schnetter 2003-08-22 22:43:28 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:     (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 20030722 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-4-686

When arop down menu opens for input completion, then the global keystroke Alt+Ctrl+K that switches keyboard layouts does not work.  This is annoying, as I often want to use this to switch between US and German layout to enter

I'm afraid that's not technically possible. No global shortcuts work when an application has 
keyboard grab.
Comment 2 Erik Schnetter 2003-08-25 15:56:15 UTC 
Why does the application need to grab the keyboard for such a drop down menu?  
Couldn't that be changed?
