From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: In openoffice.org writer, you are supposed to be able to highlight text and press CTRL+SHIFT+B to make it a subscript. It worked fine in the openoffice.org included in fc2, but in fc3, instead of making a subscript, it turns the character into what first looks like an underlined capital B and then changes to a space. Superscript (CTRL+SHIFT+P) works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.5.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open openoffice.org writer and type something in it. 2. Highlight some text and press CTRL+SHIFT+B Actual Results: It turns the text into what first looks like an underlined capital B and then changes to a space. Expected Results: The text should be a subscript. Additional info:
The same thing happens in gnome-terminal. Apparently once ctrl-shift are held down in X unicode input is enabled, so digits 0-9 and A-F are trapped, allowing you to input the hex code for a letter. e.g. ctrl-shift + 5 + 6 gives an underlined 56 while typed and a final V when released. Perhaps OOo should change the keyboard shortcuts to disallow ctrl-shift A-F, it disallows ctrl-shift 0-9 already
Created attachment 108599 [details] vcl patch reserve ctrl-shift-A-F
Created attachment 108600 [details] move the writer accelerators i.e. ctrl-shift-H for superscript and ctrl-shift-L for subscript (high/low)
