Description Heiko Tietze 2017-11-23 14:22:35 UTC
Assigning the shortcut shift+ctrl+U to Format > Double Underline replaces the selection with an underlined U. Everything works well with shift+ctrl+W.

Issue happens for the planned change in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/45150/ for bug 113939 on 6.0 as well as LibO Fresh with manual configuration.

Double Underline enables Underline in menus and toolbars, so the functions seem to depend on each other.

But i tested the shortcut in ubuntu 17.10 (gnome 3) and the shortcut wasnt pre-assigned to anything.

Ctrl + Shift + U is the iBus shortcut for entering characters via their Unicode codepoints, which works across platforms. Just like in bug 160474, makes it difficult to use Ctrl + Shift + U.
The shortcut is still current in iBus source at the time of writing: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/blame/main/data/dconf/org.freedesktop.ibus.gschema.xml#L249
Probably should be listed as a shortcut to avoid.

Bug 158355 could help if implemented - or make things more complicated, depending on point of view :)
