[Bug 51871] Re: gtk apps reading accelerator keystrokes incorrectly with alternative keymaps

[didier]

Same here on Edgy with french/english keyboards, in gedit:
CTRL Q is using CTRL A action (french keyboard layout is azerty, qsdf...). 

in gtk/gtkkeyhash.c 
_gtk_key_hash_lookup() returns both exact matches and matches with a different keyboard group (it seems to be a feature).

As gedit TextView window doesn't have a binding for CTRL+Q it catches
the 'q -> a'  entry from group 1, cf gedit/gedit-
window.c:gedit_window_key_press_event(), and uses CTRL A binding.

#if 0 the partial match in _gtk_key_hash_lookup() or #if 0 the 
gedit_window_key_press_event() fix it.


I don't understand the rational behind the partial match logic for keybinding, IMO it's confusing.
