Created attachment 49430 [details] Inconsistent key icons for Option and Control keyboard Shortcuts (Mac) I added a keyboard shortcut which used the Option key (on a Mac). The keystroke I wanted was Command-Option-Shift-S. However, the Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard dialog shows the wrong key icon, the "control" key instead of "option" key. The menu and the actual shortcut to execute my "Sort" shortcut is Command-Option-Shift-S, and it shows up in the menu correctly. However the Customize dialog box shows the Control Key, not the Option Key. The screenshot shows both the Customize dialog on the right (with the incorrect key symbol) and the Format menu, which shows the Sort... command with the correct symbol for Option.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian
Re-confirmed with LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 Changed status to "Reopened"
After reading FAQ, I'm setting status back to NEW on my bug.
Bug was never confirmed by an independent reviewer, therefore reset Status to UNCONFIRMED. (No offence -- this does not mean that I doubt the existence of this bug -- when status is UNCONFIRMED, the chance is even better that a bugwrangler will try to reproduce this issue or search for duplicates, while with Status NEW the bug will probably just be overlooked.) Also reset the Version field to 3.3.2. Please note that the Version field should always contain the FIRST version in which a bug is known to exist, NOT the last one, therefore please do NOT “update” the Version field.
First, just a hint: This could be a general problem, I mean, that the symbol for the Alt=Option key is wrong everywhere in the LibreOffice UI; cf. bug 49280 - “UI: Forms "next record" tooltip shows wrong shortcut”.
Still REPRODUCIBLE with * LibreOffice 3.5.7.1 (Build ID: 3fa2330-e49ffd2-90d118b-705e248-051e21c) * LibreOffice 3.6.2.1 (Build ID: ba822cc) * LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 6a8694d, pull time: 2012-09-20 05:53:26) all on Mac OS X 10.6.8. In the dialog window “Customize” (available via “Tools > Customize...”), tab “Keyboard”, ALL keyboard shortcuts with the Option/Alt key show the wrong symbol: they show the symbol used by Apple for the Control key: ⌃ UP ARROWHEAD [U+2303] instead of the symbol used by Apple for the Alt/Option key: ⌥ OPTION KEY [U+2325] This seems to be a general problem in LibreOffice: while the actual menus use the correct symbol, do dialogs and tooltips use the wrong symbol (cf. bug 49280).
Already in LibO 3.3.0 (so reset version number), and not limited to Calc, but a general UI problem, present in all components.
@ Mac OS experts: Hello Norbert, hello Thorsten -- this is a Mac OS UI issue, which seems minor at the first glance, but is nevertheless of importance, because it is very irritating especially for long-time Mac OS users. For example I myself thought for a long time that it was *impossible* in OOo/LibreOffice to assign any keyboard shortcuts which involve the Option/Alt key, because the “Customize” dialog window seems to show only keyboard shortcuts combined with Shift and Control key. Only after some tests I realized that it is just the symbol which is wrong -- the dialog window uses the ⌃ symbol, but it should use the ⌥ symbol instead which is the standard Mac Option/Alt key symbol. As daz-bugzilla has pointed out (see his nice screenshot!), this also means an important inconsistency: as long as we are in the “Customize” dialog window, the ⌃ symbol is used, but the real menus use the correct ⌥ symbol. This inconsistency is irritating, too. NB: This may be very well a general problem, not limited to the “Customize” dialog. As bug 49280 -- “UI: Forms "next record" tooltip shows wrong shortcut” shows, the wrong Option/Alt symbol ⌃ is also used in tooltips (very probably in *all* tooltips, not only in “next record”), and I suspect that it will be also used elsewhere throughout LibreOffice. So maybe there is just a single central definition of the symbol which is wrong and must be changed. (I have even searched the code for it, but LibreOffice is too complex and my code reading facilities are too limited to find where the problem lies.) Can you please take a look at this bug? As said above, this looks like a minor issue, but it is really irritating. Thank you very much!
On MacOs 10.9.4 with master sources updated some days ago, I could reproduce this. I submitted for review this patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/10600

As I indicated in the patch, there's still a problem of order of symbols between menu shortcut and the 2 shortcuts in Customize dialog
