Nonprinting characters shortcut doesn't work (Ctrk+F10)

Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Simply, pressing Ctrl+F10 is NOT the same as pressing the button of the Standar toolbar of "Nonprinting characters". Going to View>Nonprinting characters works too, so the only problem is that Ctrl+F10 shortcut doesn't work.

It might have something to do with Compiz-fusion, because y had other problems around this with it.

I have found the reason. It has nothing to do with Compiz (that is
disabled). I go to KDE "Keyboard shortcuts" settings. Even I'd
configured to only have two desktop, switching between them with
Ctrl+F1 and Ctrl+F2 (I used up to 4), KDE by default (at least on
Kubuntu 8.04) is configured to use from Ctrl+F1 up to Ctrl+F12, and
overriding any other software shortcut. So: KDE should change
shortcut to goes up to Ctrl+Fn, where n is the number of desktop the
user choose/configured.

I'm not how the story goes. Who contact KDE developers to fix this bug?

KDE doesn't do this anymore, but now KWin uses this shortcut for it's composé function => bouncing back to openoffice

OOo has the same shortcuts on all platforms and are localized per language it is not going to change. This works fine on Gnome so kdebase needs to change its keymapping, or someone who can convincingly argue with upstream to change this behavior (very unlikely) to be specific per platform (think many hundreds of combinations of shortcuts at that point).

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
