Codeblocks ctrl + shift + c not working

I'm using codeblocks for my C++ IDE. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I like to comment out code using Ctrl+Shift+C.

All of a sudden, though, it's stopped working! How do I turn it back on?

EDIT commenting out code using Ctrl+Shift+Z does work. But Ctrl+Shift+C does not. If I go to the menu, click edit, then click copy it out it DOES work. It's just the keyboard shortcut that's broken.

EDIT #2 Whenever I do try to use Ctrl+Shift+C, I notice this unusual warning message appear: HTML Help not found at [file directory of project goes here]

Could this be a clue?

This is a bug in Codeblocks, but I found a way around it.

In general, follow the instructions on adding a keyboard shortcut on the Codeblocks wiki.

Open Settings >> Editor .
On the Editor Tab, scroll down to the Keyboard Shortcuts section.
Expand the Edit section and highlight Comment
On the right, you will see the current assignment of Ctrl+Shift+C

The bug is that for some reason Codeblocks does not recognize the keybinding.

The fix is to simply replace it with the same combination.

Scroll down to the New Shortcut box and click inside.
Press Ctrl+Shift+C
When Codeblocks says the combo is already assigned to Comment, ignore that and click Add and OK.

After that, the keybinding began to work for me.
