I have a database with several tables. I have created forms to work with them. The forms have a button to close it when I click on it. This works. I wanted to add a keyboard shortcut to these buttons. The documentation I could find says to add a tilde (~) in front of the character I want. I can type the tilde, but as soon as I leave the label field (pressing Tab or closing the dialog by mouse) Base crashes. In a test environment (VM with Win7, JRE 1.8.0_281, LibO 6.4.7.2) this works as expected.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today + gen or gtk3 rendering, I don't reproduce this but perhaps I missed something. I created a brand new odb file (embedded hsqldb) + a table with wizard + a form with wizard too. Then I added a push button. I right clicked the button and chose "Control properties", in "label" field, I added an "~" in front of "Push button", then clicked in another field, no crash.
@w.sirges : You don't mention which version of Windows you are using where the crash occurs. Does the tilde in that version of Windows OS represent something in particular, i.e. is it a system reserved function, or does the problem occur irrespective of the WinOS version, and only with LO7.x ?
For example, there appear to be a number of issues with the tilde key on Windows 10, especially if you have multiple language input and/or keyboard. Perhaps this is the root of the problem ? cf, for example, the following thread: https://superuser.com/questions/1000952/tilde-backtick-button-not-working-on-windows-10/1003913

Did it work? I've created a new VM with Kubuntu 20.04 x64 and, after some updates, got it to work. Base needed an SDBC driver and is working. I've created a test DB with one table and form, and I could a keyboard shortcut to a button. No crash. But it doesn't work. How did you configure this?

I have Windows 10 Pro x64 German, with all the latest Patches & Updates applied (Version 20H2, Build 19042.870). > Does the tilde in that version of Windows OS represent something in > particular, i.e. is it a system reserved function, I have no idea. > or does the problem occur irrespective of the WinOS version, and only with LO7.x ? As I've said, in a VM with Win7 x86 and LibO 6.4.7.2, it works as expected.

I don't have multiple languages or keyboards installed, just German (Deutschland). > https://superuser.com/questions/1000952/tilde-backtick-button-not-working-on- > windows-10/1003913 Following this article, thank you, I've disabled all change key sequence setups. I need to test this, though.

I didn't test this, I just can tell that putting a tilde and click on another field didn't crash.
