Description SK 2019-08-04 19:43:53 CEST
OS: Arch
Keyboard layout is: German (Switzerland)

I created a custom keyboard shortcut for "xfce4-terminal --drop-down". Used key was "§", which is "tilde" in US Layout (the key on top of TAB and bottom of ESC).
The shortcut worked nice.
I bit later i recognized that any key press of "s" will not trigger to print the char "s"..

Output of "xev" if i press "s" (with shortcut enabled) is following:

############
FocusOut event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  70  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
############

If i remove the shortcut, "s" will be available again.

I can reproduce this behavior on another arch desktop system.

the shortcut will be saved as `<property name="section" type="string" value="xfce4-terminal --drop-down"/>`

I tried to reproduce it, but was not able to trigger the bug.

Any reason why xfce4-settings is still at version 4.12?
