Comment 1 Dieter 2022-04-15 09:40:28 UTC
Thank you for reporting the bug. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Could you please also reset your Libreoffice profile (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and re-test?

Didn't work with and without profile reset. (Also customised Ctrl+Shift+[ to check if it was something Ctrl+Shift related, but it worked normally)

Profile reset done as:
1. Start LibreOffice and select Help ▸ Restart in Safe Mode
2. Select Continue in Safe Mode (after restart is done and a modal dialog appears)

Thank you for retesting.

I can't confirm with

Version: 7.3.3.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community

Tested with "Ctrl+Shift+," and with "Ctrl+Shift+.".

Tested again with profile reset (safe mode) on 

Version: 7.3.3.1 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 1688991ca59a3ca1c74bc2176b274fba1b034928

Still didn't work. Maybe it's an OS/GNOME specific error?

Version: 7.3.4.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 1; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-PH (en_PH.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.2-0ubuntu2
Calc: threaded

Able to replicate the issue in the above versions. Also, I tried to check if other options would have the same behavior. I don’t have time to check all available options but please see the shortcuts I checked below.
All of them are set to show the LO About page for simplicity.

For clarity, I also followed the steps below. It's technically the same as the original reporter's, but a little detailed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools > Customize > Keyboard
2. In the Shortcut Keys go to either Shift+Ctrl+, or Shift+Ctrl+.
3. Select any Category below by clicking an item (I picked Application)
4. Select any item from Function (I picked About LibreOffice)
5. Click Modify button on the upper right side of the Customize panel
6. Selected shortcut keys should be added in the Keys section in the lower right of the Customize panel
7. Click the OK button to close the Customize panel
8. Hit the shortcut key combination you just added
 
Expected: LibreOffice About page should be displayed (or what your selected function should supposed to do)
 
Actual: Nothing happens.

Also tried in Mac M1, kindly see the part with "/ Mac Arm64".

Looking at the sample shortcuts above, it seems that not all are working as expected (set behavior using Tools > Customize > Keyboard).
