Description Emanuele Forner 2015-09-23 21:14:46 UTC
I used to assign the keyboard shortcut <CTRL>+<M> to the menu command Format > Character, but now this option has disappeared from the menu command Tools > Customize > Keyboard, because instead in the Format options group there are some options duplicated and some others missing.
Best regards,
Emanuele Forner (Italy)

the duplicate entries issue was already reported in Bug 56811 - CONFIGURATION: Duplicate Shortcut description

regarding the missing "Carattere" item I see that in the Italian UI under LibO 4.4.5 there's "Colore riempimento carattere" and "Colore sfondo carattere" 

are those the function you miss?

did they have a different name in previous LibO release?
can you tell which was the latest LibO version where you had that "Carattere" item in the right place?

status NEEDINFO

The missing function is the command launching the Character Formatting Window, and it's always been named "Carattere".
I noticed the issue only in LibreOffice 5.0.1, because I had to reinstall the OS and could not recover all my former personal settings (anyway, in another PC I own, which didn't need any reinstallation, although the Tools > Customize window behaves the same way as reported here, LibreOffice 5.0.2 has mantained the former personal settings, in which I have assigned the shortcut <CTRL>+<M> to the Character Formatting Window launcher command.

I'll check later with older LibO releases to see which one was the latest featuring the missing "Carattere" item

stay tuned

Screenshot from LO 4.0.6 showing item "Carattere"

I confirm the issue under Win8.1 x64 as well

the item "Format > Character" (in the Italian UI "Formato > Carattere" was available 'till LibO 4.0.6 (see screenshot) and disappeared since LibO 4.1.0

I don't know if it was intentionally removed or not...
anyway let's set status to NEW

that item is missing in recent LibO releases and in LibO Dev 5.1 alpha too

This is a one-line fix, but it would be useful to find out why it was removed before adding it back again, so lets see if the bibisect team can find it out.
