Barrier Version

2.3.2

Steps to reproduce bug

  1. Open 'Barrier' GUI application.
  2. Select 'Configure interactively' if not, and click 'Configure Server.'
  3. Create a hotkey of 'keystroke(Control+,)' for any action such as 'switchInDirection(up).'
  4. Click 'OK' and 'Start.'
  5. Barrier never starts, and log says 'cannot read configuration.'
  6. After a while, dialog appears and says 'Program can not be started.'

Other info

  • work around:
  1. After the step 6 above, save current nonfunctional configuration as a file by clicking 'Barrier' and 'Save configuration.'
  2. Substitute keystroke(Control+comma) forkeystroke(Control+,) in that file.
  3. Load this file, and <C+,> can be used as a hotkey properly.
