You say nothing about the involved programs (DE, WM, application), versions, recent updates, etc. It is also unclear to me where you are trying to change the shortcut. As far as I know key presses are handled as follows: - first it is passed to the application - if the application doesn't intercept it it is passed to the window manager - if the window manager doesn't intercept it it is passed to X (or something like that) It seems to me that your particular application is not intercepting key presses correctly, which is why they "reach" the next level.
