POSSIBLE SOLUTION / Test Case
I believe I've made some progress.
It looks like (on Win2K) keyboard assignments are saved in the file:
C:\Documents and Settings\greg\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org1.9.95\user\config\soffice.cfg
\modules\swriter\accelerator\en-US\current.xml
The cause of our issue seems to be that this file is written to with the new
macro assignment for a key, BUT that the file is not reloaded in memory.
Test case:
1. Create a macro "testmacro" that types a phrase.
2. Assign it to a key combination.
3. See if the key combination works (sometimes they do, even so!)
4. If not, verify that it is assigned in the assignment list.
5. Close the Writer application.
6. Restart the Writer application. (this step also counts as a WORKAROUND)
The key combination should now work.
My theory is that the current.xml file is written to, but not necessarily
reloaded in memory, accounting for the strange behavior we've seen. Restarting
the application is a guaranteed way of reloading the current.xml file (though
other events may also reload it), which gives you the key assignments you want.
This WORKAROUND has worked for me in both versions 1.9.79 and 1.9.95.
gottliebpet, please test this and see if it works for you, maybe we've caught
it!
I'm not in a position to test if this also occurs in other OSs; given the
location of the file, I imagine there's some OS dependency. It may also occur
with other applications that use key combinations.
