GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 246459
Keybindings incorrectly trapped by menus
Last modified: 2003-07-16 23:47:19 UTC
Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: 1.4.3 Synopsis: Keybindings incorrectly trapped by menus Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: Description of Problem: I have my GNOME default key bindings set to "Emacs". In editing a new mail message, "cntl-a" does not do "goto-beginning-of-line" as it should, but rather ends up doing "select-all". Other key sequences which are menu accelerators are also problematic. As I understand it, this is because the Menu framework is trapping the keys before the HTML widget can see it. I am filing this against Evolution/Mail because, AFAIK, GTKHtml is working fine but it never sees the "cntl-a". Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Set GNOME default key binding to Emacs 2. Start Evolution 3. Create a new message 4. Type a little text in the body. 5. Press "cntl-a" Actual Results: The entire text in the body is highlighted. Expected Results: The cursor should move to the beginning of the line. How often does this happen? Always. Additional Information: Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
