Description adepali 2005-03-11 15:21:47 UTC 
Shortkeys don't work when keyboard is switched to Greek, causing massive
usability problems. This is not only a Writer issue, had the same problem in
Calc as well. Particularly annoying are the formatting (bold, italics etc)
shortkeys, the undo operation and and the copy/paste with control+c/control+v
sequences.
When I press these keys in greek keyboard, all my selection is deleted and
replaced by greek text. This issue does not exist in OpenOffice 1.1.4, where
control shortkeys work regardless of current language setting.

Hello adepali,
what is the output of 'locale' on your system?

Comment 6 adepali 2005-03-24 22:07:46 UTC 
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

OpenOffice 1.1.4 shortkeys work with the same locale settings.
Comment 7 flibby05 2005-03-31 17:06:18 UTC 
Hi, does it work for you, if you change also the rest of the locales to a
language instead of POSIX?

f.e.
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

which distro do you use? window manager?
Comment 9 adepali 2005-04-02 14:56:26 UTC 
Changing all my locale settings to EL_gr.UTF-8 won't fix this problem. I'm using
Gentoo with KDE 3.3 (kdm). Keep in mind that openoffice 1.1.4 works fine in the
same environment.
