Severity: normal

I tried using multiple desktop environments (xfce and cinnamon), building the
newest version of audacity from source as well as the default, but I still get
the situation where it is impossible to input certain characters as they
trigger the keyboard shortcuts instead. This may be a problem with wxWidgets.
Also, pressing both the left and right mouse buttons simutaniously causes an
error that prevents my mouse from working until I close Audacity.
