I may have to come back on this: After a relogon (and still with 1.7.6-r1) it doesn't work anymore. Though I am still very sure that it worked after emerging 1.7.6-r1!! I sincerely apologise if this is a local config mess or whatever. I'll try to get things cleaned up (emerge clean or emerge unmerge or whatever) and then reemerge 1.7.6-r1. Ok, I have emerged 1.7.6-r1 again and the problem was there (still), also direct after the emerge. So I don't know why it went away the previous time... Anyhow I know something more about the problem: it doesn't seem to be limited to ctrl-c, but holds for apparently (i haven't tested them all) all ctrl-... combinations, like ctrl-f to find etc. However if I click in the top menu, so that for instance the file menu is down and has focus, and then use the key combination, then it works. Also I CAN copy text from the location bar without problems. So the problem seems to be only in the displayed page area (both passive text as text in fields). Opening pages in a new window by holding ctrl also still works. And alt-a to select all and alt-j also still work strangely enough. Ctrl-shift-... combinations seem to be dead too. My hunch is that either something broke in the latest mozilla, or that there is some configuration option that I haven't discovered, or that something in gnome 2.10 is like "stealing focus" for these key combinations. Isn't it so that gnome 2.8 had two config menu's for keyboard shortcuts (the regular and multimedia), adn that these were simplified and unified in gnome 2.10? Anyhow I'm not very keen on downgrading to gnome 2.8 to see if it works. Ok, the problem wasn't with mozilla after all. It was caused by a custom keymap that for a reason I still understand stopped working in the new gnome. I noticed this when I found that I wasn't able to switch terminals anymore with ctrl-alt-fn too. I switched from keyboard layout "104 keys" to "105 keys" in gnome and the problem went away. I'm sorry for bringing up this problem. I'll close it now. |
