189654 - Ctrl+Shift+C does not work if ICQ is installed

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Bamm Gabriana]

Pressing Ctrl+Shift+C to mark all messages as read does not work if ICQ is
installed and running in the tray, even if the Mozilla MailNews window is the
currently active window (I even tried clicking on the MailNews window first to
make sure it is in focus).

Instead, the ICQ email accounts preferences window is launched. I see that ICQ
also uses this combination, but I expect that if Mozilla is in focus, then it
should have priority in receiving keyboard presses.

It's a known issue that ICQ might steal keyboard bindings from Mozilla, though I
am unable to find something about this in Bugzilla. Maybe someone else does?

you can configure icq not to use ctrl-shift-c.

This bug is a request for mailnews to prevent other applications from steal its
keyboard bindings. It is not a request to change any of the shortcuts. Reopening.

Karsten is that realistic, i.e. possible?  I wouldn't think so.  invalid?

We can't hinder the OS(!) to _not_ pass us the key combinations we need, and it's extremely annoying if programs like ICQ grab those keys. You should redefine your global hotkeys to something sane...
