Thanks a lot for your answer, it solved the problem I just spend 40 minutes figuring out what it meant, and from the Gnome help:
"To change an application shortcut key, open the menu, and with the mouse pointer on the menu item you wish to change, press the new combination of keys. To remove a shortcut key, press Backspace or Delete" I must accidentally have changed the accelerator key, didn't know this was possible, just changed it back - no bug in Evince :) -- In evince (pdf viewer) typing in the search box, whenever typing 'a' open file dialog opens ie. not possible to have 'a' in any search term https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
