Description Noel McLoughlin 2016-01-31 01:29:24 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1303334 +++

Description of problem:

ISSUE #1 

1. Launch Rawhide Live DVD installer
2. Choose Install to Disk
3. During Anaconda installation process click on [keyboard layout] button/toggle which is adjacent to [Help!] button on GUI console.
4. Note how this interface does not work.  User can only "change layout, i.e. Click to switch to the next layout" via LOCALIZATION -> Keyboard screen which is bit more work.  This interface is superfluous.

ISSUE #2

It was also noted the "switch keyboard layout by key combination" feature (i.e. CTRL+SPACEBAR, CTRL+CAPSLOCK, etc) does not work and selected configuration does not persist after interacting with the interface.


Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-core-24.9-1.fc24.x86_64
Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 14:22:42 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 David Shea 2016-03-09 19:07:54 UTC 
Whatever was causing this was probably something in libXklavier, but it seems to be working fine now.
