Keyboard Shortcut(s) become(s) inactive (SOLVED!)

Question

I just noticed the "deselect all" shortcut, command-shift-A has stopped working. When I try to overwrite it in the Shortcuts settings, it appears as command-shift-three dots (see attachment), as if the "A" didn't exist on the keyboard.

This doesn't depend on the keyboard layout: all the layouts I use have the A in the same position.

The strange thing is: if I use "deslect all" from Animate's dropdown menu, it'll start working again. To stop, apparently randomly, again soon later.

The issue has started since I updated my Mac system from 14.something to the latest 14.7.1. But I also updated Animate to the latest release, so I have no idea which is causing the problem, if either.

I am using a customised set of shortcuts. I don't know if other shortcuts are also affected by this problem, they might very well be.

Could trashing the preferences solve it? I don't remember where to find them, though.

I think I solved the issue.The problem with Command-Shift-A is that it coincides with recalling Terminal.  I had encountered this in the past (Terminal just popping open),  but the shortcut itself had never stopped working. I guess the recent System update has to do something with the worsening of the problem. Anyway, if you go to System-->Keboard-->keyboard Shortctus--->Services, and uncheck  "Search man Page Index in Terminal" it should start working properly again. See attachemnt.

that's expected until you finish entering your shortcut and then click elsewhere in the shortuct panel.
