openoffice menu shortcuts not recognized when using Russian layout

I've removed package openoffice-gtk-gnome and all keyboard shortcuts are working
correct now

Does this happen in any other GTK applications? Try gedit.

All "gnomish" (all default gnome applications) and GTK applications work correct.

I have noticed this problem only with: openoffice-gtk-gnome, mozilla-firefox,
mozilla-thunderbird. With firefox & thunderbird hotkeys do not work with
official builds from mozilla.org and slackware packages from linuxpackages.net.

ps Marry Christmas!

Do you also see this problem in openoffice.org2? This could be an upstream problem.

This bug exists both in oo.org 2 and firefox using the latest night build. I am
trying it with greek (el) layout

It's a known bug.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69230
and http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23836

The problem exists with OpenOffice 2.0beta (Linux) as well.
It's an upstream issue.

However, Alexandr Dmitrijev mentions that he managed to solve it. Alexandr?
Else, mark upstream.

Appears to have been fixed upstream in OpenOffice.org (March 9, 2005, in source
code).
See http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42122
Firefox still to go.

yes, I removed the openoffice-gnome package and shortcuts now work fine.

btw, the third application with the same issue is abiword

Alexandr, a bit more clarification about shortcut support

1) If the menu says "_Moscow" in cyrillic, you are in cyrillic input mode, and
you press Alt-M, the menu opens up. Does the same happen when you are in
non-russian keyboard input mode (such as English)? On GNOME, special care has
been taken so that it does not matter what language you are in; as long as the
key is the correct one according to the cyrillic positioning of the keys, it
should work. That is, you are in English keyboard input mode, you should be able
to press Alt-M (let's imagine "M" is cyrillic, ok?) and get the action.
Currently OpenOffice 1.1.3 for Hoary appears NOT to work when the keyboard shows
English, to access the menus. It works when you are typing the local languages.
If you follow the bug reports, it says that the problem has been fixed in CVS
(9th Math, '05?) but remains to be verified.

2) Do Ctrl-X/Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V work while the keyboard is in Cyrillic Input mode?
For me (Greek) it does not work, as the character simply gets pressed. GNOME
2.10 fixes this nicely.

3) Mozilla Firefox appears to be quite problematic; Keyboard shortcuts for the
Firefox do not work up all.

The OO.o bug is FIXED, the others are still open, marking this as upstream.

fixed in upsream packages, at least in dapper 2.0.2
