Description Edoardo Comar CLA 2004-06-28 10:07:03 EDT 
on 3.0 final, linux GTK, Sun Jdk 142_04,
Mandrake 10.0, 2.6.7 kernel, KDE 3.2.0, UK keyboard,

the default key CTRL-SHIFT-E to open the 'switch to editor' dialog does not work.
I get an underlined capital E appear in the current editor
If I repeatedly press the key combination, I get 5 underlined capital E's and
then on the 6th key combo the Underlined capital E's disappear and the dialog
opens. On ESC the dialog closes and reappears a 2nd time. subsequent ESC close
the dialog without further side effects.

Then the thing is reproducible again.
The workaround is to add another key combo to the action
Comment 1 Douglas Pollock CLA 2004-06-28 11:24:15 EDT 
Another workaround is to cut&paste the text "Ctrl+E" from somewhere, and 
right-click paste it into the key sequence text field.
