Simple Scan window not responding to keyboard shortcuts

[Alex Peters]

The menus indicate that a single page can be scanned by hitting Ctrl+1 on the keyboard, but pressing Ctrl+1 does not cause a scan to occur.

Additionally pressing the Delete key does not delete the currently selected page.

Curiously, pressing Alt+D or Alt+P to open the Document or Page menu respectively does not result in the relevant menu opening.

Pressing Tab does cause focus to shift back and forth between the page area and the toolbar.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi,

under Debian Jessie (Gnome & Mate) Ctrl-1 doen't work.

The same source under Trusty works.

for me this is a regression from 17.04 to 17.10

[Colan Schwartz (colan)]

This worked fine for me with 17.04 and below, but stopped working with 17.10.

[Mathieu Dubois (duboismathieu-gaas)]

I confirm it used to work on Ubuntu 16.04 but doesn't work any more on Ubuntu 18.04.

[Colan Schwartz (colan)]

The upstream Gnome bug is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/issues/14, but Launchpad won't let me add that here. Strangely, the Debian bug report doesn't refer to it either.

[Mathieu Dubois (duboismathieu-gaas)]

@Colan Schwartz: thanks for the link. It suggests a workaround for the issue: start simple-scan from terminal with `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE simple-scan` (each time). I confirm this is harmless (it doesn't change anything on your system so if you retart simple-scan as usual it won't work) and works under Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu desktop). This seems to indicate that the problem comes from the integration with the desktop.
