Description Gil Shwartz 2016-09-20 17:17:12 UTC 
When trying to override the default keyboard configuration of the left and right (arrows) shortcut keys, the first override sequence partially fails, i.e. not all modifications are saved. This is also true when loading a keyboard configuration from a file. I am not sure if this is unique to the left and right arrow key or any two shortcut keys (previously defined or not).

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Start a fresh LO.
2. Type some text and verify that the left and right key function correctly and according to the default configuration.
3. Select Tools > Customize > Keyboard tab.
4. Save the default keyboard configuration to a new file.

5. Select Navigate in Category.
6. Select Goto Right in Function.
7. Select Left in Shortcut Key.
8. Click Modify.
9. Select To Character Left in Function.
10. Select Right in Shortcut Key.
11. Click Modify.
12. Click OK.
13. Type some text and try to navigate with the left and right keys - the cursor moves only left.

14. Repeat steps 2-6.
15. Click OK.
16. Navigate with the left and right keys - while intentionally opposite, the keys function correctly.

17. Select Tools > Customize > Keyboard tab.
18. Save the modified keyboard configuration to a new file.
19. Load the default keyboard configuration from the saved file.
20. Click OK.
21. Verify that the left and right key function correctly and according to the default configuration.

22. Select Tools > Customize > Keyboard tab.
23. Load the modified keyboard configuration from the saved file.
20. Click OK.
24. Navigate with the left and right keys - the same problem as in step 13 reappears.

Sorry. In the steps to reproduce, step 14 should be:

14a. Select Tools > Customize > Keyboard tab.
14b. Repeat steps 5-8.

Btw. what is the intended purpose when you try to switch left and right arrows?
Comment 3 Aron Budea 2016-10-11 21:33:18 UTC 
In the meantime I can confirm the behavior with v5.2.2.2 / Windows 7.
Strange that the exchanged shortcuts don't work on first try, but work on second try.
Comment 4 Aron Budea 2016-10-11 21:35:02 UTC 
By try, I mean customization attempt.

The original intent was to work around a regression bug in 5.2 involving keyboard navigation in RTL text. There is an open bug on this issue and the code change causing this regression is expected to be reversed in 5.2.3.

COULD NOT REPRODUCE 

Steps:

1. Verified directional input was at default settings.

2. Left changed to "Go Right", right changed to "Go Character Left". 

3. Started new document after customizing keyboard navigational keys and saving 
   configuration. 

3. Switched between default configuration and modified configuration.

Results:

Navigational keys complied with the applied key bindings.
