Description Vincent Untz 2007-03-14 15:04:56 UTC 
On a keyboard with a french layout, the 'q' and 'a' keys are switched. Same for 'z' and 'w' keys.

Open gedit, type some text. Hit ctrl+a. All the text is selected. Good.
Close gedit.
Open gedit, type some text. Hit ctrl+q. All the text is selected. Bad.

Same problem occurs with ctrl+w and ctrl+z: both shortcuts are reverting the last action.

I don't know why it's broken and I didn't look at the code.

Hrm. I suspect a GTK+ bug, since this is also happening in file-roller. Are you using GTKUIManager/GtkAction?

Vincent: sorry for the very late reply.

Yes, we are using GTKUIManager/GtkAction.

I don't see any reason why this problem should happen in gedit a part from a bug in gtk+.

Oh, yes. That's a duplicate of bug 162726. I believe you told me about it on IRC a few weeks ago :-)
