Public bug reported:

I've been trying to bind a keyboard shortcut to the paragraph key on two
different computers with Swedish keyboard layouts.

In the Swedish keyboard layout the paragraph key is just below Esc, to
the left of the 1 button, and shared with the half-sign, so § and ½ on
the same button. In other words it's close by and handy for hot keys,
while still being very rarely used for anything you need to write.

The problem is that whenever anything is bound to that key using the
global keyboard shortcuts from the settings panel, the action is also
being triggered when pushing the s button as well, which makes it
impossible to use.

Following the Hotkeys Troubleshooting guide I've made sure to attach the
log files requested, with the shortcut in place (it took a few attempts
at getting them all while being unable to use the s key :) ).
