Bug ID: 123786
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: All hotkeys of OpenOffice don't work in non-English
keyboard layout [ubuntu 13.10]
Product: General
Version: 4.0.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P3
Component: ui

Hotkeys (Ctrl+b, Ctrl+s etc) in LibreOffice are language dependent and work in
English language only. While writing in any other language i.e. in GREEK, it's
impossible to use hotkeys, they just don't do anything. Switching to English
input language enable hotkeys once again. This is very frustrating as user
needs to switch language to save document, to make it bold, or italic, etc.
This was not experienced in previous UBUNTU versions (12 series).
Steps to reproduce:
1. System Settings > Text Entry.
2. Add another keyboard layout beside English [In my case it is Greek]
3. Now launch Writer.
4. Switch the keyboard layout from English (US) to Greek (Simple)
5. Press Ctrl+B to change font weight to bold.
Error:
Font weight does not get changed.
Expected:
Font weight should change to bold.
Note:
none other system hotkeys work as expected. I.e. Ctrl+s to save, or Ctrl+b to
subscript, or Ctrl+i to italic etc.
Workaround:
The only way is to -
1. change the keyboard layout to English
2. then press desired hotkey
3. then switch keyboard layout back to Greek.
The issue is critical, as it make writer very slow for keyboard-only typing.
The same issue has appeare in LIBREOFFICE after the Ubuntu 13.10 version got
released, so it seems an OS specific bug, SEE:
