I would like to add that using any other keyboard layout other than English stops this from working. I.e. I use ctrl-w in Russian layout (that would be ctrl-ц) to open overview, but I can not close it with same combination until I switch language to English. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
