NOT reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (RC2) German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

NOT reproducible width "LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC2 English UI/Locale [Build-ID: e371a95-bf68a13-5a1aa2b-d3c1ae9-b938258] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

Seems to be Mac related

tool tip

The tooltip displays the wrong shortcut cmd-ctrl-right which is frustrating.
Correct were cmd-alt-right.

Comment 6 gpircher 2012-09-01 22:24:30 UTC
I used LO 3.5.1.2
Comment 7 gpircher 2012-09-01 22:47:18 UTC
Still the same with LO 3.6.1.2 (MacOS_PPC)
Comment 8 Jochen 2012-09-02 09:22:42 UTC
Hi reporter,

I try to reproduce your bugreport. But I found no error in LO 3.5.5 and LO 3.6.x (OS: Windows 7 and Windows XP).

First I would like to clarify what you mean with "bug".
In attach 1 I see "Nächster Datensatz(<symbol>^->)".
For LO 3.5.5 in German version of LO I see "Nächster Datensatz (Strg+Alt+Nach links" (i.e. no symbol but only text). This is correct.
For LO 3.6.1 in German version of LO same correct behavior.

Conclusion:
Perhaps a problem on your PC or a problem with OS MAC.

Proposal:
Look for a another MAC-User using LibreOffice in your circle of friends or post the problem on a mailing-list of LibreOffice (if you ar German e.g. on discuss@de.libreoffice.org

Still REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.5.7.1 and 3.6.2.1 (Build ID: ba822cc) on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel).

Definitely a simple, Mac-only problem: The tooltip shows the symbols for Command-Control-Right, but the correct shortcut is Command-Alt(=Option)-Right, the symbol is just wrong. The same is true in the tooltip for “Previous Record”.

I suspect that there is a general problem with the symbol for Alt=Option in LibreOffice for Mac OS X; IIRC it is often (generally?) displayed with the Symbol for Control. Option=Alt should look (like on Apple’s keyboards and in all other Mac OS X applications):

----\--------
     \
      \
       ------

But currently the symbol for Control is used, similar/identical to an Ascii-Circumfluex:

  /\
 /  \
/    \

Some more research is necessary to show if this is a general problem, I mean, if the symbol is wrong everywhere.

A first hint in the direction of a general problem: cf. bug 39477 - “Mac Keyboard shortcut "Option" key doesn't show properly in the Customize dialog”.

Question: can German localization-team help? IMHO: no. Who can solve the problem?

My attachment shows the same problem, where the control symbol in the tool tip should be the Option/Alt symbol.

⌥ OPTION KEY [U+2325]
⌃ UP ARROWHEAD [U+2303]

This incorrect symbol is also in bug 39477. It does look like a more general problem than just these two specific locations in the UI on Macs.

LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 (English)

Comment 14 Roman Eisele 2012-09-25 17:40:37 UTC
Already REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.3.0, so the problem is very probably inherited from OOo.

Good question. We can just ask some developers with Mac experience and hope that they look into it or (if they have no time for that) provide some hints about where in the code the problem is located:
* Thorsten Behrens <tbehrens@suse.com>
* Norbert Thiebaud <nthiebaud@gmail.com>
* maybe Stephan Bergmann <sbergman@redhat.com>

I have forwarded bug 39477 (the more general issue) to Thorsten and Norbert, and *hope* that one of them finds the time to take a look at this issue.
Comment 17 Julien Nabet 2014-08-12 19:16:29 UTC
The problem was almost identical since there's a problem of key order in fdo#39477 (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39477#c16)

Removing duplicate bug from the dependency list of bug 42082 for a cleaner view.
