1173979 - Ctrl+C copying is broken in the latest Irish FF 38.0.5

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: ga-IE / Irish, defect)

Bug originally filed by Galt Barber, here:

"Halo, a Chairde!
Because of a corrupted key bindings definitions file, 
ctrl-C does not work.  So you cannot copy anything.
I tried restarting FF in safemode, but it did not help.
I came across the keyconfig extension and installed it.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension
Then I pressed shift-ctrl-F12 to start it up.
I could see weird description go the right of Ctrl+C
where they were trying to document Ctrl++ for zooming in,
but they forgot the second plus sign, so then the system
reads the description of the function as if it were the 
actual key definition.
Ctrl+Description
should be
Ctrl++Description
Since the Description in Irish starts with the letter C,
there are now two competing definitions for Ctrl+C,
and copying via ctrl+C is broken, a feature that I use constantly.
Using that Keyconfig extension, I was able to disable
the errant definition. (Actually, it found another one too
that started with Ctrl+AnotherDescription, but my Ctrl+T
still works to open tabs).  In any case, it looks like a
tiny error in editing the descriptions of the keypress mappings
that can be easily fixed. We don't want people NOT to use
the Irish version because of a minor technical difficulty."

More info from Galt: "A minor addition: When I hit Ctrl+C, it does not copy.
For some weird reason it acts like Ctrl+0 so that if you
had earlier hit Ctrl++ to zoom in and have larger text,
then after pressing Ctrl+C to try to copy something,
the text zoom size returns back to normal default size,
as if you had pressed Ctrl+0."

I think maybe I see the problem; when we switched over to using Pootle, there were some problems with the original import, e.g. here:

Dwayne, do you think it was a one-time problem with the import?  Anywhere else I should look for strings to fix?

Beidh sé réitithe i bhFirefox 40, an leagan beta tar éis 30 Meitheamh. Brón orm as an bhfadhb seo - tá sé ag cur isteach go mór ormsa freisin!

Kevin it should be once off, not sure how this came about.

I would do a review using these two ideas:

1. Use the 'long' check to identify strings longer than expected
2. Search in location for commandkey, key and commandkey2

Ar fheabhas, níl sé chomh ciapach nuair atá a fhios agam go mbeidh sé réitithe go luath agus nach gá dom tuilleadh infhiúcadh a dhéanamh chun cúis na faidhbe a aimsiú.
