Problems with shortcuts / modifier assignments

I´ve seen many situations in which shortcuts/modifers wouldn´t work as expected when a specific key such as Ctrl, Alt, etc. is involved. The next recipe can be tested - as I did - on a fresh portable install of v4.75 :

1 - Open a fresh, new project in a fresh, portable install.

2 - Open the Action List, look for the action "Track : Select track 01" and assign it the shortcut "Alt + F1" or "Alt + W".

3 - Create three or more empty tracks. Click outside of them to be sure that no one is selected.

4 - Run the newly created shortcut : did it select track 01? In all the scenarios I tested it - including the one with the fresh portable install - it didn´t. It selects all but the first track. If I assign other shortcut without the Alt key to the action, for example "Ctrl + Shift + F1", the action runs nicely without a problem.


This is just the latest example I´ve met. Not only this applies to the Alt key, of course. Ctrl key has also proved to be problematic in certain cases, as stated in this thread : http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.p...32#post1409832 . On that issue, changing the Ctrl for other key solved the problem. A similar situation, this time not easily reproducible but certainly solved by changing the modifier, can be found here : http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=149762 .And the list goes on...
