Bug ID: 428006 Summary: Keyboard shortcuts crashed in Leap 15.2 Product: systemsettings Version: 5.18.5 Platform: openSUSE RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: crash Priority: NOR Component: kcm_khotkeys Assignee: k...@michael-jansen.biz Reporter: s...@gmx.eu CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- 2020-10-19 Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.2 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0 Qt Version: 5.12.7 Kernel Version: 5.3.18-lp152.44-default Running: virtualbox-guest-x11 - VirtualBox X11 drivers for mouse and video 6.1.14-lp152.2.5.1 virtualbox-guest-tools - VirtualBox guest tools 6.1.14-lp152.2.5.1 virtualbox-guest-source - Source files for virtualbox guest kernel modules 6.1.14-lp152.2.5.1 Fault Summary: The system settings keyboard shortcuts crashed. No reaction in the Kde gui when typing keyboard shortcuts. Eg. KWin: "Switch to Next Desktop", "Switch to Previous Desktop"; Eg. Plasma: "Switch to Next Activity", "Switch to Previous Activity"; The fault is caused by configuring in system settings a keyboard shortcut for an additional keyboard layout. Error Symptoms: Configure keyboard shortcuts in system settings. Like: System Settings > Global Shortcuts: Other Shortcuts > KWin > Walk Through Windows > Default: Alt+Tab Additional fault: Other Shortcuts > KWin > Walk Through Windows (Reverse) > Default: Alt+Shift+Backtab The above setting should display "Alt-Shift-Tab", not Alt+Shift+Backtab. Other Shortcuts > KWin > Walk Through Windows (Reverse) > Custom: Alt+Shift+Tab Other Shortcuts > KWin > Switch to Next Desktop > Custom: Ctrl+Tab Other Shortcuts > KWin > Switch to Previous Desktop > Custom: Ctrl+Shift+Tab Other Shortcuts > Plasma > Switch to Next Activity > Custom: Meta+Tab Other Shortcuts > Plasma > Switch to Previous Activity > Custom: Meta+Shift+Tab Additional fault: Keyboard > Shortcuts for Switching Layout > Alternative shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+K Only this shortcut is displayed via the Kde plasma on-screen feedback (in the middle of the screen). The typed key-combination appears to be sent directly to the active kde foreground window, instead of being acted upon by the kde system settings for keyboard shortcuts. Fault Reproduction: Configure in System Settings an additional keyboard layout and assign a keyboard shortcut. Like: System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices: Keyboard > Hardware > Keyboard model: Apple | Apple Aluminium (ANSI) Keyboard > Layouts > Add: Layout: German, Default, Label de Keyboard > Shortcuts for Switching Layout > Main shortcuts: "Left Alt+Left Shift" Type a configured key combination, eg. for "Switch to Next Activity". Fault Mitigation: Reset to Defaults in "Kde > System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced > Configure keyboard options > Switching to another layout > (Left Alt+Left Shift)". Afterwards, configure the layout keyboard switching shortcut again, if it is missing. The Kde gui may be completely unresponsive; if so, a full machine ACPI shutdown helps. After booting the machine again, magically, all Kde keyboard shortcuts appear to function correctly. Fault Resolution: Fix the sources for "Kde > System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Layouts: Shortcuts for Switching Layout"; aka "Kde > System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced > Configure keyboard options > Switching to another layout > (Left Alt+Left Shift)". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
