keyboard shortcuts with shift and numbers or special characters not working

[Florian Schmidt]

1) Release of Ubuntu:
10.04.1 LTS with Xfce (Xubuntu)
following bug occured in 9.10 of Xubuntu

2) Version of the package:
don't know if the bug is related to package xfce-keyboard-shortcuts. If so I have 4.6.3-2 installed.

3) What I expected to happen:
adding a new shortcut including shift-key and a special character or shift-key and a number (on a german keyboard layout) should add the working shortcut

4) What happend instead:
the shortcut <shift>key is translated to <shift>(<shift>key) and therefore not working.

X) Example:
entering <shift>, results in <shift>semicolon which is <shift>(<shift>comma) on german keyboard layout
entering <shift>+ results in <shift>asterisk which is <shift>(<shift>plus) on german keyboard layout
entering <shift>1 results in <shift>exclam which is <shift>(<shift>1) on german keyboard layout
...

Seems fixed in the 4.8.x series.
