Footprint library browser help->list hotkeys menu does not open the hotkeys window

[Dino Ghilardi]

Probably related to Bug #1836901 (but that is reported as "fix committed", so I don't know if it is really the same).

In footprint library browser, opened from eeschema, the "help->list hotkeys" does not open the hotkeys dialog.
Also opening it from pcbnew (edit component->change footprint) has the same issue.

--------------------------------------------
P.S.: I notice that in the "Application" line of the version info there is no application name if you get the information from the Footprint library browser window: is this intentional?

Cheers,
Dino.

Actually, the whole menubar is wrong (it's Pcbnew's, not the Footprint Browser's). Appears the OnActivate event isn't getting handled correctly....

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

(Marking this as "High" because it could potentially cause all sorts of other issues.)

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

Interesting. The OnActivate issue appears to be OSX-only, and unrelated to the other issue.

On linux-gtk the pcbnew menubar seems working (I see no strange behaviour on a rapid test clicking help->show hotkeys, help->about kicad). The only missing menu action I've seen is on footprint library browser->show hotkeys (but I did not test everything), this seems to confirm that the OnActivate is OSX-only.
