Key Configuration not working (in versions 7.1.1 and 7.1.5)

I had 7.1.1 installed and configured the keys to suit myself. This worked fine until a couple of days ago when I did a lot of configuring (changing folder colours in the browser, customizing the toolbar etc.) and then the key configurations stopped working. After searching the forum a bit, I decided to install the latest version 7.1.5 but it has not solved the key configuration problem.

I have configured Edit-Selection-Lowercase to Ctrl/L but pressing Ctrl/L brings up the Find box (or finds the next occurrence if there is already text to be found - this is default behaviour for Ctrl/L).

I have 3 Preference files and I have configured all of them the same way. Regardless of the preference file I choose, the problem remains.

Here is the listing from the Help/Support Info option:

Have you any ideas as to what might be causing the problem?

Thanks Marco, appreciate the quick response.
We have over 100 TOAD seats that we are trying to phase out to move over to PL/SQL Developer and I am currently the flag carrier for PL/SQL Developer so obviously being able to resolve this issue as soon as possible would help my cause.
 
The files you sent me had two ini files in the preferences directory (default.ini for your name, and gios.ini). Both preference sets did not have a connections definition, so both were used as default. This is a conflict, since both sets had a different action for ctrl-l.

Should the gios preference set be used for a specific database?

If you remove it, or define a connection for it, things should work okay.
