Comment 5 for bug 1922961

This is weird, never noticed that strange behavior. But I can confirm similar issues with macOS.

CTRL+P is no issue in macOS, because it is overridden by the system wide preferences shortcut ⌘, (Unicode: U+2318).

But CTRL+F (search focus) does not work either, if the language is set to German.

$ locale
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_D

I can reproduce that back to Mixxx 2.2.1, Mixxx 2.1.8 being the last working version.

Moreover, if running

./mixxx --developer

You can see one press of CTRL+F is fired multiple time
debug [Main] keyboard press: "Ctrl+F"
debug [Main] keyboard press: "Ctrl+F"
debug [Main] keyboard press: "Ctrl+F"
debug [Main] keyboard press: "Ctrl+F"

This needs further investigation.

tested with 2.4.0-alpha-pre (build main r7832), and 2.3.0-beta (build 2.3 r8120)
