which probably means that in the properties of the control, "Multiline"
(Mehrzeilig) is set to "True"?

The second field probably is a "Multiline" = "No" field, right?

I just today noticed that in those fields, on Linux shortcuts such as
Ctrl-<letter> do not work, but insert the letter only. On windows, they
work fine (the very same shortcuts, in the very same control in the very
same document). Do you mind submitting an issue for this?

Thanks & Ciao
Frank
