That is correct behaviour.  Shift+C is assigned to close focused track.
If we do not want that in the full shortcuts, then if David agrees, we 
remove it from the full set.

Not on my Windows machine it doesn't.
That sounds like a bug.  If you are on windows, then maybe an 
interaction with the screen reader?
Do you have the full preferences dialog with all its pages, or just the 
'Unique Page' version with just the keyboard page?

For a bug, YES to a Bugzilla entry.
"Shift+C may open keyboard prefs when in an empty Track Panel"

If you're just getting the unique page, then it's related to Paul's 
quick set feature in some way.

Sounds like you are triggering Paul's feature.  Do you release the mouse 
first or the shift first?
Are you on Mac or Windows here?
