** Description changed: - In some apps built using QT4 & 5, menu shortcuts are greyed out and - inoperant. Only alt and FKeys-based shortcuts work. Others, notably - ctrl+c for copying, do not. + Impact + ====== - This is quite serious ; mail me for more details. + This affects all Qt applications on Unity and other desktops which use + global menu, either via appmenu-qt5 or via native implementation on + Yakkety. + + Any shortcut is not working if the corresponding action is attached only + to the menubar (i.e. and not also to the toolbar). It can be reproduced + with almost any application by removing the toolbar (right-clicking on + it and deselecting it). + + Test Case + ========= + + * Open Qt Assistant; + * Press Ctrl+T (this action is not on the toolbar). + + Expected: a new tab should be opened. Current result: nothing happens. + + Proposed Fix + ============ + + The proposed fix is a backport of the upstream fix at + https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=287f548d4c7cc594. + + Actually just the qshortcut.cpp part would be sufficient, but the other + parts make sure it plays fine together with https://cgit.kde.org/plasma- + integration.git/commit/?id=aef74e97e2ed462a. + + Regression Potential + ==================== + + The fix is in Zesty for 1½ months now (in upstream even longer), and so + far nobody complained. People have verified that the fix works (see + comment #63).
