Ctrl+; doesn't insert current date in LibreOffice Calc

  • 772

I installed Ubuntu 22.04 (normal install on hardware) soon after it was released. It came with LibreOffice 7.3.2.2.

The problem is that the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+; doesn't insert the current date into a cell anymore. Instead, it enters an underlined "e", which turns out to be a starting point for inserting emojis. If you enter Ctrl+; then press Space, up pops a menu showing different categories of emojis:

emoji pop-up

The menu Insert → Date, still shows Ctrl+; to be the keyboard shortcut, but something is clearly wrong.

Ctrl+Shift+; does insert the current time as it should.

Is this fixable, or a LibreOffice bug?

    Ctrl+semicolon is defined as an emoji shortcut in ibus-setup, tab Emoji. You may remove it, or try LeftCtrl+semicolon to insert a date.
