--- Comment #6 from Humberto Elizondo <[email protected]> ---
Thanks, Joren.

I guess you are right; Windows must be intercepting this keystroke combination,
so it is not available to LibreOffice.  Regrettably, I have not been able to
prove this conclusively.  Anyhow, it became clear that this is not a bug in
LibreOffice.

I have been trying, meanwhile, to reach a conclusion on this matter, but sadly
I have to say I've not succeeded.  I tested the {Ctrl+Alt+C} combination on
another machine, and worked as expected.  This had an earlier release of LibO,
4.0.0.3, running under Windows 7 Home Basic.

For a while, I thought I had found the trouble, for I am using the US
International keyboard setting.  For the most part, it behaves as a standard US
keyboard; however, it includes additional characters not available in the
standard keyboard.  For instance, æ, ö, ø, ñ, ß, ç, to name a few.  Most of
these characters are displayed onscreen after some keystroke combination is
struck.  {Ctrl+Alt+Z}, for example, yields æ.

It occurred to me that perhaps {Ctrl+Alt+C} was being used by Windows for the ç
character to show up.  Not so; actually, this is done with {Ctrl+Alt+,} (that's
a comma, at the end).  {Ctrl+Alt+C} doesn't seem to do anything; I got
suspicious, all the same, and turned over to the standard US keyboard, to no
avail.  This same keystroke sequence is used in Calc to insert a comment in a
cell, and of course it doesn't work, either.

Since Tommy27 reported that the combination worked allright for him, having
tested it on LibO 4.1.2.3, I downgraded to that version to see if that cleared
the trouble; it was not so.  Finally, I ended assigning a different keystroke
combination to this function.

I have few programs installed on my machine, for it is relatively new; there's
no other program that could be regarded as a "higher application" than
LibreOffice,  to my knowledge.  Personally, I still think my keyboard setting
has some connection to the problem.  Pressing {Alt+C} makes a brief, tinkling
sound.  It doesn't happen so with {Ctrl+Alt+C}, nevertheless.

Best regards,

Humberto Elizondo.
