Keyboard shortcut for Go to Next Marker does not work

[RichD44]

The keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+." (for Go to Next Marker) displays an underlined "e" character at the cursor on text files (such as .php, .js, or .html). The menu item "Search/Go to Next Marker" works properly, and both the "Search/Go to Previous Marker" menu item and its shortcut "Ctrl+," also work properly. It's only the one keyboard shortcut that fails.

Thanks for the system info, you can get it all in one place by copying the three lines from Help->Debug Messages

WFM on:

(null): Geany INFO		: Geany 1.38 (git >= acb7b066c), en_AU.UTF-8
(null): Geany INFO		: GTK 3.24.20, GLib 2.64.6
(null): Geany INFO		: OS: Linux Mint 20 (ulyana)

What is your locale? Is your keyboard anything other than US Intl? Does XFCE use Ctrl+. for anything?

Here's what I get from Help->Debug Messages: 07:03:48.800453: Geany INFO : Geany 1.38, en_US.UTF-8 07:03:48.800474: Geany INFO : GTK 3.24.33, GLib 2.72.1 07:03:48.800500: Geany INFO : OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (jammy) My locale is US and keyboard is US. I've used Geany and the "Search/Go to Next Marker" shortcut (Ctrl+.) for many years. The problem started after I upgraded from XUbuntu 20.04.1 to 22.04.1 a few months ago. From XUbuntu Settings/Keyboard/Application Shortcuts, there are no XFCE or any other conflicts with Ctl+. From Geany Help/Keyboard Shortcuts, Go to Next Marker is set as Ctrl+. The only Geany plugin I use is Split Window and the problem occurs even when I uncheck Split Window in Tools/Plugin Manager and restart Geany. Upon pressing Ctrl+. an underlined *e* replaces the character at the cursor, and pressing it again restores the original character.

I tried pressing Ctrl+. in mousepad (ver 0.5.8), another text editor for xfce, and the same problem occurs: pressing Ctrl+. causes an underlined e to replace the character at the cursor, and pressing it again restores the original character.
So clearly this is not a Geany problem. Unfortunately I don't know how to identify where the problem is so I'm closing this issue.

Problem with Ctrl+. keyboard shortcut still exists but it also occurs on other XUbuntu 22.04.1 text editors (like mousepad) so it's not a Geany problem. I don't have the skills to identify the problem source so I'm closing the issue.
