Symptoms


Consider the following scenario:

On a Windows 8 PC with Traditional Chinese Language pack installed, you open a picture in Windows Photo Viewer. When attempting to rotate a picture using the shortcut key – ‘Ctrl+,’ or ‘Ctrl+.’, you may instead see one of the following behaviors:
  • Once you click the shortcut key, the picture will not rotate to its position as expected.
  • An Traditional Chinese IME dialog will be called instead of the expected rotate action.

Cause


The problem occurs because these shortcut keys have been used by Traditional Chinese IME.

Resolution



A workaround is to switch the input language to a non-CHT one in the system. These hotkeys cannot be disabled or blocked in CHT IMEs since they are daily used by CHT IME users.
