No '@' in DP6?

Has anyone else noticed that you cannot type '@' in DP6?

Does the font you are using have '@' within it's character set?

I just opened DP6 and selected the Text Tool and kept the default Arial font. Typing '@' was as simple as holding down shift and hitting the 2 on the keys about the QWERTY row.

Working fine here

Just found out what caused the problem: Ctrl+Alt+q was assigned to "select clipped objects" by the key shortcut utility.
Quite strange but this seems to be a default setting.

Thanks for checking,

Ctrl+Alt+Q for '@'? What keyboard language is that?

However, on my German keyboard I cannot type '@' either because Alt+Q is assigned to "Remove ClipView" by default.

Sorry, ignore that comment. I was confused.

The German shortcut for '@' is of course AltGr+Q, which corresponds to Ctrl+Alt+Q, so we are talking about the same thing. Yes, this is an unfortunate default shortcut.
