I have the same problem reproducible with EN-US (English-US) and PRT (Portuguese) Keyboard layouts. Combine this with the fact that keyboard layout switching is broken in the KDE version provided with FC-2, we have a situation where keyboard layout switching is broken in general. Just wanted to point out that as a workaround, changing layout with the command e.g. setxkbmap se still works. Thanks for the work-around David :) Yeah, I see this with gnome-applets-2.6.0-8. Apparently, this has been fixed upstream recently. I'm going to do an FC2 update with 2.6.2 from upstream soon and I'll ask you guys to try it out. Just pushed a testing update which may fix this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-July/msg00494.html Appreciate if someone could try it out and confirm. Well, the behaviour has changed some, but I still don't think it's correct... If i switch to swedish keymap, and then drag the cursor over a e.g. mozilla-mail, the keymap switches back to US. If I then click the applet to make it switch back to swedish and then drag the cursor over the same window, it now stays swedish. Seems like a have to switch keymap once for each window. And I mean window and not application. I just opened two gnome-term windows and I can set one to use swedish and one US keymap... Okay, thanks for the info Just wanted to mention that I have seen this also with FC2 and the Spanish keyboard. I have also found that dead keys do not work properly with the Spanish keyboard. The is still an issue in gnome-applets-2.8.0-5 in FC3 After living with this issue for a long time I just discovered that in gnome-applets-2.8.0-5 in the "keyboard indicator preferences" there is a check box where you can tick "separate group for each window". Un-ticking that one reverts to the original behaviour of having the keyboard layout not depending on mouse focus. So with other words, this probably isn't a bug after all although this behaviour probably should be investigated from a usability perspective.. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: I have a 101 key us keyboard, but occasionally I write in swedish and then I use the gnome-keyboard-applet to switch to the swedish layout. However I noticed that after upgrading to FC2, the layout I select with the applet doesn't stick. For instance if I select the swedish keyboard and then move the mouse cursor into a mozilla-mail window, the layout switches back to US kaymap. And right now, having focus in the main mozilla window, the layout being swedish, and clicking on the applet to change layout doesn't work, nothing is happening. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.6.0-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add swedish keyboard layout 2. try switching to this layout by clicking the applet 3. try to move the cursor over diffent windows and screens and see if it changes (which it in my opinion shouldn't) 4. Try switching layout by clicking on the applet and watch verify that occasionally nothing happens. Additional info:
