[gutsy] gedit "ctrl+s" triggers "goto line" not "save file" action

[Jörn Dreyer]

Binary package hint: gedit

When pressing the hotkey "ctrl+s" the "goto line" action is triggered insted of the "save file" action
"ctrl+i" will also correctly trigger the "goto line" action.

I doubt this is related to
#17276 gedit : ctrl+s != hot key save
#17233 gedit : Many keys suddenly bound to incorrect actions

I cannot reproduce this. What keymap do you use?

[Basilio Kublik (sourcercito)]

do you have "desktop effects" activated?

[Jörn Dreyer (j.dreyer)]

> I cannot reproduce this. What keymap do you use?
german, eliminate dead keys. any commands I could run to give you specific information?

> do you have "desktop effects" activated?
no, I just tried changing to compiz and back again (via system->preferences->appearance->visual effects). still same error with gedit

$ ps ax | grep metacity

Thank you for your bug. Do you use the editable menus option? What shortcut is written next to the menu action? Do you think it's possible that you pressed ctrl-S when the menu item was selected and then changed the action?

[Jörn Dreyer (j.dreyer)]

I read about customizable menus, but I don't know where to de-/activate the feature.

AFAICT I have not activated it.

I will post the german labels, as that is what is Displayed:
Gedit -> _Datei -> _Speichern = Strg+S
Gedit -> _Suchen -> Gehe zu _Zeile = Strg+I

I tried highlighting a menu item and use Strg+something to change the hotkey. As expecte, It did not work, as I assume the feature is not enabled.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Looks like Ctrl-I is correctly set for the "Go To Line" option

[Jörn Dreyer (j.dreyer)]

I just have no idea about where to start debugging this misbehaviour ... any hints would be welcome.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you attach your .gnome2/accels/gedit to the bug?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you have several keymap listed in the GNOME configuration? that might be due to bug #23244 or something similar

[Jörn Dreyer (j.dreyer)]

yes I have the following keymaps availiable:
- Germany Eliminate dead keys (*)
- Germany Neostyle
- Germany

with * being active

however, It does not matter wether or not separate group for each window is enabled.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Does it happen if you have only one keymap configured?

[Jörn Dreyer (j.dreyer)]

ok, I removed the other mappings and the bug seems gone. Readding the neolayout breaks it again. Readding the simple german layout does not. So the bug seems to be with the neostyle, which AFAIR is not officially supported by ubuntu. So thx for walking me through this. Unfortunately there does not seem to be an updated version of the package: http://eigenheimstrasse.de:8668/space/Computerecke/NEO-Tastaturlayout/Download/GNU-Linux?

Are there any bugs related to this one I coud subscribe to?

This is the neo-de package installed on my system.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that's a duplicate of bug #23244, no need to subscribe that will be done automatically when this one is marked duplicate which I will do now

[marlon keintjem (marlon-kebunanggur)]
