           Summary: Ctrl+G key no longer recognized
           Product: kde
           Version: 3.5
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: usnay12345@isomedia.com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

This problem observed in Konqueror and KDE Control Panel, and in non-KDE app
Nedit.  I don't know of anything else that uses Ctrl+G to test.
.
Nedit has Ctrl+G as the default Find Next key.  When I had KDE 3.5.8, I
configured Ctrl+G as new shortcut for Find Next in Konqueror.  It continued to
work in KDE 3.5.9.  After installing KDE 3.5.10 RPMs, it no longer works in
Konqeror and no longer works in Nedit.  In KDE 3.5.10, pressing Ctrl+G in Nedit
does nothing, and pressing Ctrl+G in Konqueror now displays the one-letter
labels for jumping to various parts of the screen.
I.E.  *** Ctrl+G now behaves the same as pressing Ctrl without any other key.
***  
Displaying the current Konqueror keyboard shortcuts shows that Ctrl+G is the
(custom) primary shortcut for Find Next.  I tried to redefine the Find Next
action (in Konqueror) as Ctrl+G by:
 Settings > Configure Shortcuts
 select Find Next
 select the None radio button and press OK to clear the old definition, then go
back into it and continue with ...
 select Custom radio button
 in the popup, press Ctrl+G
*** Expected (this is the behaviour shown by past releases)  It shows "Ctrl+G"
in the key box.
*** Actual  While Ctrl+G is being held down, it shows "Ctrl+" in the key box. 
When Ctrl+G is released, the key box is erased  --  no key combination was
accepted.

Using Control Center, Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts >
Application Shortcuts, the same thing happens.

So, it looks like something in KDE no longer recognizes the Ctrl+G keystroke
combination.

This happens on two machines:
 machine 1:
  home-built machine
  AMD processor
  Fedora 8
  Fedora's KDE RPMs
  Microsoft 2000 keyboard
  no KVM switch
  Ctrl+G worked on KDE 3.5.9 and below, fails on KDE 3.5.10.

 machine 2:
  IBM branded machine
  Intel processor
  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7
  kde-redhat.org KDE RPMs
  IBM keyboard
  has a KVM switch
  Ctrl+G worked on KDE 3.5.9 and below, fails on KDE 3.5.10.
