KMail filters: some filters do not activate shortcut

Hi Erik,

thanks for your investigation. This is really a weird issue.

Does the problem persist if you change the name back to the old one? I have 
created a filter named "alternative2related", but I couldn't reproduce the

Could be. You can find the filter configuration in 
~/.config/akonadi_mailfilter_agentrc .
