           Summary: Configure Shortcuts dialog won't accept Alt+C, Alt+D,
                    etc.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The standard "Configure Shortcuts" dialog used in KDE4 programs has a silly flaw. When I try to assign certain key combinations, the dialog intercepts them instead of assigning them. These shortcuts are Alt+D, which returns everything to their defaults, Alt+C, which is Cancel, Alt+O, which is OK, and Alt+E, which focuses the search dialog.

Test case: Open a Configure Shortcuts dialog (such as Dolphin's). Choose an action (such as About Dolphin). Click on the button to change the shortcut (text changes from "None" to "Input...") and type Alt+C. The dialog immediately closes! Re-opening the dialog shows that no shortcut was even assigned.

(This has been a bug since the 4.0 betas, so I was really surprised when I updated to 4.0.2 and it still wasn't fixed. Am I the only one who has tried assigning Alt+D to something?)
