Description Mateusz Maćkowski 2014-07-29 11:34:38 UTC
Have a look at resources/src/jquery/jquery.accessKeyLabel.js:

} else if ( profile.name === 'chrome' ) {
	accessKeyPrefix = (
		profile.platform === 'mac'
			// Chrome on Mac
			? 'ctrl-option-'
			// Chrome on Windows or Linux
			// (both alt- and alt-shift work, but alt with E, D, F etc does not
			// work since they are browser shortcuts)
			: 'alt-shift-'
	);

As you can see, the code sets the accesskey label to "alt-shift-accesskey" on Chrome because of conflicts with some keys when using alt-accesskey. The problem is: alt-shift-accesskey causes conflicts, too. On the Edit page, you have "This is a minor edit" checkbox with accesskey "i". And here's the problem - in Chrome, alt-shift-i is a shortcut for reporting an issue...

MediaWiki 1.24-git (227204c)
Chrome 38 (dev) on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, same issue on Chrome 36 (stable) on Windows 7 64-bit

I'm posting a screenshot of Chrome menu showing the "Report an issue" menuitem with its shortcut.

Thanks for taking the time to report this and the investigation!
This might fix one small part of bug 67824.
