Version: 4.2 (for M4)
BuildId: I20111205-2330

If you import a preferences that includes key bindings, some bindings are not applied.  In particular, I bind File > Import to Ctrl-Cmd-I (on the mac), and it never takes effect until I restart.

I suspect the problem may be the same as bug 365724 comment 3, ultimately that the menu item is from an MMenuContribution.

It does show up in the 'Keys' preference page though.

Patch

When the BindingPersistence is asked to reread (when a preference changes), persist the information to the model after the reading process has completed.
