I have noted though that behaviour is not consistent across the distros you have tested which may point at Mint. I can't for the life of me think why though!
I was one of the respondents to your post on linuxquestions. A suggestion...let's give it another day for responses to filter through there. If nothing useful comes out, how about asking the linuxquestions admin people to move the post to the mint forum? I think reps of the distro hang around at that forum so may be able to advise one way or the other.

I tried that already. For example, LibreOffice comes with a lot of presets. One is "Navigator", that is assigned to F5 under Windows and Ubuntu. Clicking on the ICON WILL call up the Navigator. But ... the key = F5 does not. It shows brightness adjustment on my Dell Inspiron 1545.I'm not sure, but this sounds like the laptop is not interpreting the key as an F5 keypress, but as the brightness control keypress. If that's right, this is not a problem with LibreOffice, more a case of the laptop not doing what you expect. I don't know the particular model, but I think it's fairly common for laptops to use some of the function keys to do stuff like that. Often you need to press a button to toggle the mode between function key mode and laptop function mode. Could the problem be something like this? Just a guess. PaulIf I revall correctly (this is an old PC of my daugther), I borrowed it a few years back when I had to spend a week away from home. At that time the PC was running Windows Vista and I used LibreOffice in that environment, but do not remember any such behavior ...
