            Bug ID: 418250
           Summary: A single letter keyboard shortcut for the 'Delete
                    Message' action only works once
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.11.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY

I prefer to make typical Mutt keybindings work with my new KMail setup. This
works remarkably well for pretty much everything I care about (Eg: 'M' to
compose a new mail etc).

Today I noticed that:
- specifying 'D' to 'Delete Message' in the keyboard shortcuts dialog seems to
register the shortcut as expected.
- re-opening the dialog before using the shortcut shows the newly registered
shortcut missing.
- despite that, the binding works as expected _but_ only for the first
invocation.

I am using Kubuntu 19.10 with Plasma installed from the kde-backports PPA.

The KMail version is 5.11.3. The About dialog shows the following associated
libraries:

KDE Frameworks 5.67.0
Qt 5.12.4 (built against 5.12.4)
The xcb windowing system

The account type in question is Office365 over Generic IMAP but I don't think
that has a bearing on the problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Settings -> Configure Keyboard Shortcuts -> Delete Message -> Alternate
-> Custom
2. Press D (to be clear - I press lower case 'd' but it is displayed as 'D')
3. Press OK for the binding to be accepted and for the dialog to close
4. To verify if the binding was registered do 1 above again - the binding will
not be seen to be registered (!)

Now traverse to an email and press 'D'. The mail is deleted. Try it again on
another mail - the mail is not deleted.

This is reproducible by going through the sequence again.

Note that 345992 and 38955 have a similar theme - kind of.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.
