Description Andy 2021-03-17 19:29:22 UTC

Description of problem:

When creating users with different keyboard options, including those that allow choosing special characters for the password, still only one keyboard is offered at login.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
40.beta.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a second user
2. Log in as them
3. In Settings > Keyboard, add German (Germany): German for that user
4. Delete any other keyboard layout for that user
5. In Settings > Region choose "Deutsch (Deutschland)" = German (Germany) as their language
5. Log off
6. On the lock screen, pick the just created user

Actual results:

The login screen does not allow to switch to the German keyboard layout, neither to German as the display language.


Expected results:

The newly created user should be able to login with their keyboard layout, to potentially enter characters only available there (like ö) in their password.


Additional info:

Currently "Expected Result" #2 of F34 Testing Days Testcase Gnome Login Screen.

It states "Note that the keyboard menu will only show if you have multiple system-wide keyboard layouts configured", but there is no such option in the Settings–additionally, and why should it be necessary to take that complicated extra step?

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.
