Description Jim Avera 2025-08-13 18:35:39 UTC 
Description:
In Tools->Customize->Keyboard, while hovering the mouse over entries in the "Shortcut Keys" list, a tooltip appears which says
  
  "To quickly find a shortcut in this list, simply press the key combination"

But this does not work immediately; it seems necessary to select some entry in the list before this begins working.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a text document or run /path/to/lo --writer
2. Tools->Customize...  Click "Keyboard" tab in left panel
3. Hover mouse in the "Shortcut Keys" panel at the top.  See the tooltip which says that pressing a key combination will find the entry in the table
4. IMMEDIATELY (before clicking anywhere), type e.g. Ctrl-C 

Actual Results:
Nothing happens

Expected Results:
The display should jump to the entry mapping Ctrl-C


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
5. Click on any existing entry in the Shortcut Keys list.
6. Type Ctrl-C again

(now it jumps to the entry for that key combination)

Confirmed.

However, I don't know if this is actually a bug.
