Whenever I press the shortcut for spellchecking all text (Cmd-shift-/)
the PowerMail menu highlights as if a menu command have been issued.
Until recently the PGP 8.0 application also opened as if the shortcut had
been reserved for it. I first suspected the services menu and a shortcut
conflict, but PGP isn't available there when PowerMail is active and when
I look in Finder all I have is "Cmd-shift with numbers 5 to 9. 
7 is among those obviously and on the swedish keyboard layout "7" and "/"
are on the same key with "/" being issued when you press the shift key.
Interestingly when I try "Cmd-shift-/" in OS X keyboard shortcuts panel I
see that it regards this as "Cmd-shift-7". Case closed? Well, problem is
that also the commands (also under the spell checking submenu) "Cmd-:",
"Cmd-;" and "Cmd-=" also need shift in order to be issued as they share
key with ",", "." and "0" respectively. Now, the keyboard shortcuts panel
regards "Cmd-:", "Cmd-;" and "Cmd-=" as "Cmd-.", "Cmd-," and "Cmd-0
respectively. Yet, they fire as expected in PowerMail, but not "Cmd-shift-/".

I have studied the keyboard aspect of OS X too little to find an obvious
solution. Anyone have suggestions?
