In the keyboard shortcut editor, I see weird behavior patterns over and
over again.

a) sometimes, I can not remove an entry. Pressing the remove
button does not do anything to it. However, I can edit the entry once
and only then it can be removed with the Remove button.

b) "Set defaults" does not replace the configuration with the default
set (which is what the warning dialog says, IMO). Instead, it adds the
default entries to the existing list. Pressing the button multiple times
creates multiple copies of the same entries.

c) selecting everything with Ctrl-a and pushing the Remove buttons does
"random" things. Sometimes it removes a few entries from the beginning,
sometimes from the end, sometimes it does not remove anything at all,
sometimes it feels like it only removes the new ones since this button
was pressed before. However, that might be related to a).

Regards,
Eduard.

Well, sadly I can't do anything with that... If you manage to have a
reproducible, specific workflow, that would help... You might want to
check with xfconf-query what is the real content of the settings
database (to check if the problem lies in the editor dialog).

I think the previous problem might comes from that action. “Reset to
default” *does* reset to defaults, but the dialog seems to miss a
refresh, so it seems that entries are added (and can't be removed) while
they aren't. Re-starting the dialog fixes that.

Yes, same thing as b)

Can you check with xfconf-query or by restarting the dialog? If you can
confirm the behavior, I'll retitle the bug and forward that upstream.
