User hot key equal to send hot key

[tiran]

My send message hot key is 's' (S_enden). Today I had the case that a user with a nick starting with 'S' had the tab hot key 's'. Pressing alt+s in the tab of the user didn't send the message, alt+s in another tab switched tab to the user.

Can you report some more information?

• What plugin are you using? (Qt/KDE?)
• What version of Qt
• What version of KDE

This is automatically managed by KDE/Qt, so it should know not to use the S. At least it does with Qt 3.3.6.

I had the same bug with the 's' key several weeks ago but forgot to report it.

I'm unable to reproduce this. If I open a tab to a user named 'sss', 'Sss', 'SSS' or even 'SSSc' the only thing that happens is that the tab don't get any accelerator.

Can you reproduce this in any deterministic way? If so, what is the name of the contact(s) you're talking to and in what order do you have to open the tab(s)?

I'm unable to reproduce the bug although I'm talking to this particular user and some other users on a daily base. Sometimes the other gets another hotkey then 's'. I have also seen the case that a other with a short nick name starting with 's' didn't get any accelerator because all his chars were assigned to other users.

It might be some sort of race condition or maybe caused by the position of the moon. :]

Yesterday I had the same issue again. A new user had the 's' key as hotkey. Later I tried to reproduce the bug but wasn't able. Either the user got no hotkey or another hotkey. Screenshot attached. Sorry for the first file but somehow the file extension got lost.

Postponing to 1.3.5.

I can't reproduce this either. If there is a race condition that causes this it's most likely in the kde code that adds the shortcuts so not much we can do about it.
