Description George 2006-10-02 19:46:54 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The Keyboard Shortcuts window, accepts the spacebar as a keybinding. Which will (at least for me) completely block your spacebar button.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the keyboard shortcuts window
2. Select any shorcut
3. Add the spacebar as the shorcut
4. (Optional) Remove the shorcut with "Backspace"

Actual results:
The spacebar becomes totally unusable, and when you use it  the cursor just flicks (it understands that I pressed it, but it doesnt know what to do) and it does nothing. Even if I remove the shorcut afterwards, using the fourth step, its still the same problem. I then, to temporary solve it, changed back and forth the keyboard layout, but I guess this is not a permanent fix.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
I suggest to remove the option to add the Spacebar as a keybinding completely. I guess that Ctrl+Spacebar or Alt+Spacebar are alright, but not solo Spacebar. Thats destructive. (At least for me.)
