Pidgin shortcut for chat logging has changed itself to "D"

At the moment I am unable to type anything that includes the letter D or d in a pidgin chat window. It is set as the shortcut for logging. When I type D or d, my chat gets interrupted and logging gets enabled or disabled. This option can be manually accessed via options > enable logging in any chat window. That menu too shows that my shortcut is simply "D"

This is the case even when I'm using pidgin OTR.

I am not seeing this issue on my debian machine. I am not sure whether this is a trisquel specific issue or somwthing caused by a recent update for pidgin. Has anyone seen this problem? What did you do to fix it? Any help is much appreciated.

I can't tell you for sure, but I've seen this behavior with other programs, perhaps it's a behavior related to GTK+, which for me, is a quick way to set shortcuts, however, it can annoy the user depending on which key you set the shortcut (in this case, it's set to the letter D).

To remove a shortcut, go to the specific window which has the shortcut (in this case, the chat windows of Pidgin), in the menu bar of the window, try to find the function which has the shortcut set (in this case, since I don't use the English version of Pidgin, I'll give it a try: It should be at Options > Record history), remember, it is in the chat window.

Once you find the function with the shortcut, highlight it and press Delete, the shortcut should disappear.

The same process can be used to create shortcuts, but instead of pressing Delete, one needs to press the desired keyboard keys or key combinations.
