Bug Description
Using qpdfview for which Qt4- and Qt5-based packages of the same code base exist, several users reported that some keyboard shortcuts stopped working after they upgraded Ubuntu which implied a switch from a Qt4- to a Qt5-based package. In all cases, installing a Qt4-based package from an alternative repository solved the problem. Using a fresh installation of Ubuntu 15.10, I did find the following:
* Keyboard shortcuts of menu items within sub menus of the main menu do not work, e.g. shortcuts for item under the "View" menu do work, but items within "View / Docks" do not.
* For all items, the displayed keyboard shortcut is not updated when changed during the application's runtime, e.g. by using a shortcut editor from within the application, even though the changed shortcuts are active.

Also, the problem does not appear after uninstalling "appmenu-qt5" so that Qt5-based applications use their native menus.
